The twelve signs of the zodiac, from the Horoscope of Prince Iskandar, grandson of Tamerlane, the Turkman Mongol conqueror. Apart from being a horoscope, the manuscript of 1411 is an exquisite work of art and an exemplary production of the royal kitabkhana "publishing house" or "workshop."
The manuscript is lavishly illustrated and reflects the efforts of a whole range of specialists: astronomers (among them Imad ad-Din Mahmud al- Kashi), illuminators, gilders, calligraphers and craftsmen, and specialists in paper-making.

Figurine of a mountain goat
Iranian, Proto Elamite, 3100-2750 BCE
Silver & sheet gold, 4 x 7 cm (1 9/16 x 2 3/4 in.)
On view at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
“This object is one of the earliest surviving Near Eastern sculptures in precious metal. The goat is made of silver and plated with gold on the face.
Incised lines illustrate the texture of the goat's hair and beard. One leg protrudes far from the body, two are held in close, and the last is only visible as an incised outline carefully etched into the figurine's underside.”
