22. Frontispiece of a court scene from a Maqāmāt manuscript, probably from Egypt, dated 1334. The enthroned prince wears a brocaded qabāʾ maftūh, with inscribed ṭirāz armbands over a qabāʾ turki which is cinched at the waist with a hiyāsa of gold roundels bawākir). The two musicians at the lower right both wear turkic coats and plumed caps, one of which has an upwardly turned brim. The plumes are set in a front metal plaque (ʿamūd) (Nationalbibliothek, Vienna, ms A. F. 9, fol. 1).
