Binding for the Mantiq al-tayr (Language of the Birds), ca. 1600, Made in Iran, Isfahan, Leather, gold, and color; carved, impressed, and gilded, 13 x 8 1/2 in. (33 x 21.6 cm), Codices, This is an elaborate example of the most common type of Safavid binding. Based on the Timurid-style binding, it contains a central medallion, quadrants, and a border of panels.
