Summary
A portrait of Manuchihr Khan on The Manuchihr Globe, Adilnor Collection, Sweden.
One of the illustrations in the manuscript of al-Qa‘īnī that has drawn the attention of art historians is the Sagittarius (al-rāmi). It is supposed to be Manuchihr’s portrait. This was suggested because of the specific features of his turban and face ‘in the guise of a bearded Safavid official’, see: Schmitz, 1992, p.127 and fig. 124. The illustration of this constellation in the Spencer manuscript shows many features akin to the figure on the Manuchihr globe. Indeed the face is similar, the figure seems to portray an official with flowing scarves and a waistband covering the join of the animal and the human forms like in the Spencer manuscript.
