Stenciled Scenes of Lion and Gazelle (verso), c. 1710. Creator: Unknown
A Princess and Demons before a Nobleman: A Leaf from a Poetical Romance Relating to Shah Alam I (recto); Stenciled Scenes of Lion and Gazelle (verso), c. 1710. The source story of this painting remains enigmatic to scholars, but it includes a range of depictions of the " other" --from the foreign to the demonic. A prince kneeling in front of his horse addresses a lady; the moon in front of her face may identify her as Mahliqa (" moonlike" in Arabic), the Chinese princess identified by inscription on the adjacent page. A group of men whose eyes hang vertically stand behind her. Horned figures with grass skirts lie slain behind them, presumably killed by the kneeling prince conspicuously holding a bow. The city in the background, at the top of the painting, is populated solely by women, and its eight surrounding walls are interspersed with slain composite creatures wearing leaf skirts, which may identify them as bands of forest-dwellers, or tribal groups

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Stenciled Scenes of Lion and Gazelle" is a captivating piece of art that dates back to around 1710. Created by an unknown artist, this print is part of a larger work known as "A Princess and Demons before a Nobleman: A Leaf from a Poetical Romance Relating to Shah Alam I". The story behind this painting remains mysterious to scholars, but it offers a fascinating glimpse into the depiction of the "other". From foreign elements to demonic figures, the artwork showcases a diverse range of characters. In one scene, we see a prince kneeling in front of his horse while addressing a lady. The moon obscuring her face suggests she may be Mahliqa, meaning "moonlike" in Arabic – possibly the Chinese princess mentioned in an inscription on an adjacent page. Behind the lady stand men with vertically hanging eyes, adding an air of intrigue and mystique. Slain horned figures wearing grass skirts lie scattered behind them, seemingly defeated by the bow-wielding prince. Atop the painting's background city are women exclusively populating it. Surrounding walls feature slain composite creatures adorned with leaf skirts, potentially representing forest-dwellers or tribal groups. This enigmatic artwork invites viewers to ponder its hidden narrative and symbolism while marveling at its intricate details and rich cultural influences. Preserved through time by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, this print serves as both an artistic treasure and historical artifact for all who appreciate beauty intertwined with mystery.
