Iran: Miniature painting of Bidpai's 'Kalila wa Dimna', mid-14th century. A number of manuscripts were made under the Injuids in Shiraz that were clearly influenced by Il-Khanid painting, but also had their own style, with characteristic earth colors and trees with large flowers. The Indian animal fables told in Kalila wa Dimna should be considered a “mirror for princes,” didactic stories intended to teach young nobles to rule wisely. We see a fox that has greedily pulled a drum down from a tree, and in doing so driven the birds away that were its actual prey. Stock Photo

Shiite Muslim mourners take part in a Muharram procession in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on September 20, 2018.
