Miniature : 15.5 x 11 cm : Page : 30.5 x 20.5 cm The decoration of the margins of this album page is very comparable to the one that adorns the Collection: "Dames et seigneurs persans (miniature de l'Inde et de Perse)", preserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, see notably folios 9 and 42.
