Miniature painting and lavish manuscript illumination were a prominent courtly art form throughout the 1500s in Safavid Iran, where artists used gold within the painted scene and in the elaborate floral or geometric frames. These refined sheets were created as manuscript illustration or as small standalone paintings.
