Two qalamdans signed Mustafa kept in the Khalili collection show similar treatment in the face and attitudes of the figures found on our pencase (Nasser D. Khalili, B.W. Robinson and Tim Stanley, Lacquer of the Islamic Lands, Part Two, London, 1996, cat.358, 359, pp. 144-145). For a further discussion on the artist, see Karimzadeh Tabrizi, The Lives and Art of Old Painters of Iran, vol.3, London, 1991, p.1159.
