Standing Figure with Jeweled Headdress

2717

Crafted during the 12th to early 13th century, within the medieval Seljuq period (or associated with local vassals and successors in the Iranian/Near Eastern sphere).

Created as an architectural wall decoration intended to adorn the reception hall of a ruler's court (whether a Seljuq sultan or a local vassal/successor), visually paralleling and enhancing actual court ceremonies.
