The Davari Shahnameh or Shahnameh-ye Davari is a 1856 manuscript of the

accession number
599. Majestically decorated and consisting of 68 illustrations, the Davari Shahnameh is comparable to courtly productions of the Shahnameh. However, unlike courtly productions, the Davari Shahnameh was not a commissioned work. According to art historian Massoumeh (Nahid) Assemi, the Davari Shahnameh may have been created "as an ode to a dying art".
