Vintage Afghani Print - Battle

Vintage Afghani Print
Religious Battle - Crusades

The original of this print was purchased in the early 1970s in Kabul by my husband.
The graphics on this and the other similar prints are gorgeous! This image shows a king slaying a knight as a horse pulls a woman battle. I am not exactly sure what specific story this depicts but based on the dress of the knight, it seems to be a battle during the Crusades in which a muslim king defeated the Christian knights. My research shows that Muslim woman did go into battle during the Crusades. Perhaps this is the king and his daughter or wife? (If anyone knows for certain or can read/understand Arabic, please write!)

These types of prints illustrate stories from the Koran and other religious tales, history or proverbs.. These were especially useful for a population which was largely illiterate. The originals were usually tacked to the walls of homes and shops as both decoration and a display of faith.

The artwork is quite beautiful and detailed; the colors vibrant.

Prices are exclusive of shipping and insurance which will be calculated separately. Unfortunately, due to increases in USPS charges, I've had to increase the shipping fees. Hats and large/fragile items often require additional shipping costs. (If you prefer, I can ship via Fedex or UPS if you provide your account number.)

Because I also sell items in a physical shop and on Etsy, sometimes the items in this website get sold before I can update the page.
