Panel with Sketches of a Man, a Lion and an Arabesque — Unknown

On the opposite wall of the same room from where this piece comes, was a beautifully drawn hunter whose richly caparisoned horse is in full gallop, all in a strongly Sasanian style. The latter was also drawn in black outline and both may have been meant to be colored.
