Iran/Persia: Persian King Minuchihr defeats the Turanian armies. Miniature painting from the Shahnama, Sarai Album of Tabriz, later 14th century. A Persian miniature is a small painting on paper, whether a book illustration or a separate work of art intended to be kept in an album of such works called a muraqqa. The techniques are broadly comparable to the Western and Byzantine traditions of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts. Although there is an equally well-established Persian tradition of wall-painting, the survival rate and state of preservation of miniatures is better.
