Persian Islamic Stucco Sculptures

Abstract

Existence of Islamic sculptures representing human figures seems surprising in view of the widespread belief that the representation of the human figure is forbidden to the followers of Mohammed. This belief is largely incorrect. But there cannot be any doubt that the arts of Islam are not particularly inclined to represent human beings.1
