Context:
Figures in the round or with a flattened back are known, from excavations and contemporary texts, to have decorated palaces; few, however, have survived. These sculptures, which probably once decorated a wall, are interesting for the study of medieval Islamic costume. The figure, still retaining much of its polychromy, is dressed in a bejeweled overgarment with sleeve bands inscribed "Sovereignty [belongs to God]."
