i got to participate in @dames-zine with gordafarid from the shahnameh!

With not a moment’s delay she dressed herself in a knight’s armour, gathered her hair beneath a Rumi helmet, and rode out from the fortress, a lion eager for battle. She roared at the enemy ranks, “Where are your heroes, your warriors, your tried and tested chieftains?“ 

the above quote really left an impression on me so there she is, on her way out to fight sohrab (sans helmet for art). i had a lot of fun looking at classical + modern depictions of the two and also ancient tack! as well as iranian poetry, especially calligraphy, Especially calligraphy mosaics
