# Painting of Genghis Khan

This painting, from the epic Chinggiskhannama, illustrates Jalal al-Din Khwarazm-Shah crossing the rapid Indus river, escaping Chinggis Khan and his army. The river, alive with jumping fish, separates Chingis Khan from Jalal al-Din, who carries a parasol, large pole, and sword. In the distance a walled city is seen.
