Iran (Seljuq Empire)

Standing Figure with Feathered Headdress

2718

Crafted during the 12th to early 13th century, corresponding to the height of the medieval Seljuq period in the Islamic Near East.

Created as a monumental architectural relief panel meant to decorate the reception hall of a ruler's court—whether under a Seljuq sultan or a local vassal/successor—serving to visually parallel and enhance actual court ceremonies within the very setting they took place.
