Qasam al-Abbas Arrives from Mecca and Crushes Tahmasp with a Mace is a 1562 watercolor by Mahesh, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man on horseback, holding a mace above his head. He's wearing a red and blue outfit with gold accents and a black helmet. The horse is decorated with colorful patterns and tassels. In the background, there are other men on horses, some with swords and shields. The scene is set against a pink sky with clouds. The man with the mace appears to be the main focus of the painting, and his dynamic pose suggests a sense of energy and movement. The level of detail in the costumes and horses is impressive, and the use of bright colors adds to the overall sense of drama.
