<ul><li>manuscript on paper, 18.7 x 13.5 cm, before 1561</li>
<li>the sultan tied by his waist with a golden rope to Timur's table</li>
<li>His wife <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivera_Despina" class="extiw" title="w:Olivera Despina">Olivera Despina</a> is naked except for a cloak draped around her shoulders, serving food at Timur's banquet.</li>
<li>the sultan bound and on all fours being used as a mounting-block by Timur, and similarly bound in his gilded cage</li></ul>
Such reports of mistreatment may have been fanciful, since contemporary witnesses attest that Bayezid was treated courteously as a prisoner of war.
