نقاشی دیواری پنجکنت سده ۶ تا ۸ ترسایی The frieze formed part of the decoration of a palace reception room (the Blue Hall), which contained paintings relating to other literary works. The background is the colour of lapis lazuli, creating the impression of endless space, and contrasts with the predominantly earth colours of the figures. Typical features of Pendjikent 7th- and 8th-century figurative painting - which had much in common stylistically with Soghdian metalwork of the period - are the powerfully drawn forms, the lightness and elegance of the movements, the combination of strong shoulders with a wasp waist, and of delicate hands with long supple fingers.
