The shape of the flattened circular turbans often highlighted with a gold swirl of fabric are closely related to those depicted in a Shahnama of Firdawsi dated 1585, now in the Topkapi Saray Museum Library in Istanbul (R.1548; Lale Uluç, Turkman Governors Shiraz Artisans and Ottoman collectors: Sixteenth Century Shiraz Manuscripts, Istanbul 2006, no.288, p. 383).
