The Queen Presses the Khan's Seal

From E6.37, Bahram Falls by Kharrad’s Design. It illustrates E6.37.42–45:

• E6.37.42
  She said, “He sleeps in wine; I can take clay,And press his signet’s image there today.”
• E6.37.43
  She asked Kharrad for clay, then went inside,Then reached the sleeper’s couch with cautious stride.
• E6.37.44
  She pressed the clay upon his signet’s face,Then left the sleeping Khan and quit the place.
• E6.37.45
  She brought the imprint back and gave it thenTo Kharrad, subtle master of the pen.
