Although often illustrated, and even featured on the dust jacket of an important sur- vey of Islamic architecture,2 this monument is in fact very little known to the English-speaking scholarly world, a situation that refl ects its relatively recent dis- covery and its location in a country long infl uenced by French culture.

  • The Bird-Shaped Finial on Islamic Royal Parasols: a Ghaznavid Or Fatimid Innovation?
    [Vicino Oriente XXIII (2019), pp. 185-206] THE BIRD-SHAPED FINIAL ON ISLAMIC ROYAL PARASOLS: A GHAZNAVID OR FATIMID INNOVATION? Valentina Laviola - University of Naples “L‟Orientale” This paper aims at investigating when and why the bird-shaped finial made its appearance on Islamic parasols through the analysis of written sources and miniature paintings. Evidence attest to the trans-regional and diachronic use of the parasol as a royal insignia whose meaning and value grew wider to symbolise the seat of government, was it the royal tent, palace or throne. Keywords: parasol; Islamic royal insignia; Iran; Ghaznavids; Fatimids 1. THE LONG-LASTING TRADITION OF THE PARASOL The parasol, a device to provide shadow repairing from the sun (or snow), is alternatively referred to as miẓalla, shamsa1 or shamsiyya in the Arabic-speaking context,2 and chatr3 in the Persian-speaking areas. It is attested as a royal insignia in almost every Islamic dynasty, but the Islamic period was not at all its starting point. In fact, the history of the parasol is far more ancient. The device has been in use throughout a very long period extending from Antiquity to the Modern Age, and in different cultural areas. Evidence come from Egypt,4 Assyria, Achaemenid and Sasanian Persia,5 where the parasol is usually held by an attendant standing behind the figure of the king as an attribute of royalty;6 a further spread concerned Asia from China7 to the west.8 Though it majorly spread in the Eastern lands, the parasol (ζκιάδειον) was known in Late Archaic and Classical Athens as well.
