- Résumé
- En Finial from the top of a Shi'i processional standard (ʿalam) carried in processions commemorating the martyrdom of Husayn at the Battle of Karbala. The ʿalams signify the battle standards carried by Husayn and his supporters. Datable to the 17th century, a period of particularly pronounced Shi'i religious orthodoxy in Iran.
