This folio is half of a double-page frontispiece. It depicts King Solomon and would probably have faced a folio with Bilqis, the Queen of Sheba enthroned. Similar depictions of Solomon appear in the frontispieces of many Safavid illustrated manuscripts, merging the image of the just king with that of a prophet who is close God.
