EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning folio, dating from the late 16th century, comes from a Tarikh-i Alfī (Chronicle of the World) manuscript, created during the waning years of the Abbasid Caliphate in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. The recto side of the folio depicts the deaths of Al-Wathiq bi-llah (r. 842-847) and Muhammad b. Baiis Jalis, two important figures in Abbasid history. Al-Wathiq, the thirty-first Abbasid caliph, is shown on his deathbed, surrounded by mourning courtiers and eunuchs. Muhammad b. Baiis Jalis, a prominent scholar and vizier, is depicted lying on a bed, with a group of men standing around him in a state of grief. The verso side of the folio features the death scene of Anbakh, a lesser-known figure. Anbakh is shown lying on a bed, with a man holding a cup to his lips. Other figures stand around the bed, some in a state of sorrow, others in a more animated and active pose. The folio is executed in opaque watercolor, gold, and ink on paper. The figures are meticulously drawn, with intricate details in their clothing and facial expressions. The lettering is also noteworthy, with elegant and flowing script that adds to the overall beauty of the composition. The Tarikh-i Alfī manuscript was likely produced in Lahore, in the Punjab region of modern-day Pakistan. It is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Abbasid Caliphate and the Indian subcontinent during the late medieval period. Today, this folio is part of the South Asian collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a treasure trove of Asian art and cultural heritage.
