Additional information

The Husaynid dynasty controlled the Caspian coastal region of Gilan during a period when Timurid pressure from the east forced numerous minor Iranian dynasties into complex patterns of submission and defiance. Sayyid Razi Kiya ruled Lahijan as one of several competing Sayyid lineages in Gilan, a region whose dense forests and difficult terrain gave local rulers unusual staying power against larger powers that periodically demanded tribute.

Album 2347 places this issue within a thinly documented series. Surviving specimens are rare enough that die studies remain incomplete.
