Siavash Paints the Halls of Siavash-Gard

From B9.42, Siavash Founds Siavash-Gard. It illustrates B9.42.19–22:

  • B9.42.19
    Within its halls he painted scenes of old,Of kings and wars and feasts in colors bold.
  • B9.42.20
    They painted Kavus seated on his throne,With armlet, gorz, his royal state full shown.
  • B9.42.21
    With Rostam strong, with Zal and Gudarz near,And all their gathered company drawn clear.
  • B9.42.22
    Elsewhere he showed Afrasiab in might,With Piran and Garsivaz set for fight.
