Copy of Amir Khusrau's Khamsah: The two divs, a miniature painting (1470) 
(manuscript from Mandu)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taken from : Perspectives on Persian Painting : Illustrations to Amir Khusrau's Khamsah by Barbara Brend.

The style of the illustrations in one of the manuscripts of the Khamsah of Amir Khusrau (1) date this copy to the end on the 15th century and to Mandu (2). This copy of the Khamsah (1) was made for the ruler Ghiyas al-Din (3) of Mandu in the 1470ties.
Mandu (2) later called Shadiabadi (city of joy) was in those years a center of East African  trade. I searched the manuscripts made or copied in the city during that period for any, even faint traces of East Africa. This is one of the faint traces I found.
The two divs (demons) appear in the Khamsah (1) to built a palace for Sulayman (Solomon) they perform in a day the work of a month, when finished, and having nothing to do they break it down again.
The divs now seen in the building work (in the Khamsah's illustration) are large, solidly build, and convey strength and energy. With spotted skins, horns, fangs, kilts and bells, like the regular demons. But he also painted detailed bone structures of the faces, focused eyes, softening hair, and moustaches, this produces the image of men, perhaps soldiers or servants stood as model. It might be that the very human, black skinned divs (demons) are the workforce of African slaves that helped build the fortress city of Mandu (2) in the first place. (This at least is the opinion of Barbara Brend who wrote the book) (Mandu is the biggest, still existing, fortress city in the world.)
