Document source description
The right side of this double-page illustrated frontispiece from Walters manuscript W.631 depicts King Solomon (Sulayman) enthroned. He is surrounded by the beasts over which he reigns, including divs and birds, mostly likely the hoopoe. Angels are above. At some point in the manuscript's history, figures' faces seem to have been purposefully erased.
