Qisas el anbiya (Persan 54, f. 138r): Sulayman and Bilqis
King Solomon, crowned with a halo, sits on his throne on the right, while Balqis, the Queen of Sheba, sits on her throne on the left. Below them kneel four courtiers. Between the two monarchs are a peacock, a hoopoe and a monkey. Above them, two angels and a demon form a royal canopy.
