Artist: Painting attributed to Sultan Muhammad (active first half 16th century) , assisted by 'Abd al-'Aziz. Author: Abu'l Qasim Firdausi (935-1020). Dimensions: Painting: H. 11 1/16 x W. 7 1/4 in.

In this painting, Zal is depicted enthroned as he consults his magi, or Zoroastrian wise men, on how to win his father's approval to marry Rudaba, the granddaughter of the evil king Zahhak.
