Arabic Script Cleaning Groom Grooming Seljuk Tied Up Rubbing Down
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the Book of Farriery by Ahmed ibn al-Husayn ibn al-Ahnaf, dating back to 1210. The artwork, created by the Islamic School in the 13th century, is now housed in the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul, Turkey. In this remarkable image, we witness a scene that epitomizes the deep bond between humans and horses. A horse stands gracefully tied up while its rider tends to its needs with utmost care and devotion. The equestrian knowledge displayed here is truly awe-inspiring. The rider can be seen gently grooming and rubbing down the majestic creature's coat, ensuring it remains healthy and well-maintained. With a turban adorning his head, he embodies both expertise and respect for these noble animals. The manuscript itself reflects the rich cultural heritage of Seljuk artistry through its intricate Arabic script. Every stroke on vellum speaks volumes about ancient traditions passed down through generations. This image captures a moment frozen in time—a testament to centuries-old practices of horse care that continue to inspire admiration today. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards these magnificent creatures who have played such an integral role in human history. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of art, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also the profound connection it represents between man and beast—an everlasting bond built on trust, understanding, and unwavering love for our equine companions.
