Takht-i Marmar, the marble throne supported by jinn and divs (demons), Gulistan Palace, Teheran, created for Fath Ali Shah (r. 1797–1833).
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This throne consists of a platform supported by columns and figures. Three of the figures are
divs, two are young men, and four are young women holding pieces of fruits and flowering twigs. While they have no wings, they are clearly intended as the carriers of the flying throne of Sulaiman. The throne has an inscription which identifies it as a Solomonic throne and relates it to Fath Ali Shah, as the Solomon of the Age (Sulaiman-i zaman). |
