The illustrated folio The Funeral of Isfandiyar (Great Mongol Shahnama) was created by an unknown artist in the 1330s using ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. The work forms part of an illuminated manuscript, with the composition framed by Persian text above and below the image. This folio is associated with the Great Mongol Shahnama, an important manuscript tradition from the Ilkhanid period. The scene depicts a funeral procession, with the body of Isfandiyar laid on a golden bier at the center, surrounded by mourners.

Figures in flowing robes and long hair express grief through gesture and posture, some raising their arms or clasping their heads. Horses flank the bier, and the background is filled with stylized floral motifs and swirling clouds, rendered in delicate tones of pink, gold, and black. The composition is dense and animated, with figures overlapping and the use of gold highlighting the significance of the central event. This folio was produced during the Ilkhanid dynasty in Persia, a period noted for its lavishly illustrated manuscripts of the Shahnama, or Book of Kings.

The Great Mongol Shahnama is renowned for its ambitious scale and innovative artistic style, blending Persian and Mongol elements. The work is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has made it available as part of its open access initiative.
