- "According to Babur, Husayn Bayqara “wore either a börk or a qalpagh [Turkoman hat]. Occasionally on religious days he put on a small, three-fold-turban, wound broadly and badly [and] thrusting a heron’s feather into it, would go to prayers.” The sense that late fifteenth century and early sixteenth century Harat still retained a distinct Turco-Mongol atmosphere is corroborated by Bihzad’s paintings of Husayn Bayqara’s court, where he and many courtiers are pictured wearing these caps. In contrast court scenes from late sixteenth-century Safavid Iran and Mughul India nearly always depict entirely turbaned gatherings. Babur, in fact, implicitly locates Husayn Bayqara on the Turco-Mongol side of the Turco-Mongol, Perso-Islamic cultural spectrum. Not only did he fail to observe Muslim fasts, but he looked and acted more like a Turk than Umar Shaykh. He was “slant-eyed” (qiyik gözlüq) and composed Turki poetry, and he wore fine red and green silk clothes reminiscent of Mongols who, like Babur’s uncle Kichik Khan, dressed for ceremonial occasions in Chinese brocades. These outward signs of persistent Central Asian cultural strains are consistent with Husayn Bayqara’s interest in Turki, which was elevated to a literary language by his boon companion, Mir 'Ali Shir Navai."[1]
