Context:

The central roundel with a sun symbol is surrounded by six circular medallions with symbols representing the moon and the planets Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and Saturn. The surrounding bands contain mounted horsemen and birds, geometric ornament, a row of seated courtiers and musicians with two enthroned personages, and an Arabic inscription in kufic script. A cursive Persian inscription surrounds the exterior. Representations of the planets and the signs of the zodiac were popular in Seljuq iconography and are also seen on stone relief sculpture and inlaid metalwork and continued to be important motifs in later Islamic art.
