IMAGERY FROM ISLAMIC SOURCES
Miniature of Mohammed re-dedicating the Black Stone at the Kaaba. From Jami Al-Tawarikh, by Rashid Al-Din, 1324. Edinburgh University Library, ms. 20, fol. 55. Date: 1324-1585. Arabian (Mecca). Notice how Mohammed's face and body are shown completely, despite this painting being by a Muslim artist in Mecca itself.
Fourteenth-century Persian miniature showing the Angel Gabriel speaking to Mohammed.
This is present-day imagery that can be bought easily in the souks of Iran
