"Harun-Al-Raschid" (763-809)

Al-Raschid was the Caliph from 786-809. The painting, which is dated 1864, tells of the meeting of a delegation sent to Al-Raschid by Charlemagne in the year 798. Among the gifts brought by the diplomatic delegation was a falcon (held here by a young man).

This shows the importance of falconry in Persia around the year 800.

My research done on this interesting, untitled lithograph led me via "pointed hats" and my assumption that the people on this print with their Arabian horses might be Persians, to internet entries about the "Saker" people. I found that Herodot already described "Saka tigrachauda" as men with pointed hats, nomads on horseback (Sakes in Skythia, Persia, the Middle East). The Saker falcon is the most desired falcon for falconry in the Near East these days.

Five men on horseback, one with a falcon. two men in foreground aiming a long barreled hunting gun at herons.
