Two animal-headed demons or jinn, one blue and one black. From 'Aja'ib al-makhluqat wa-ghara'ib al-mawjudat (Marvels of Things Created and Miraculous Aspects of Things Existing) by Abu Yahya Zakariya' ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini (1203-1283) an Arab physician, astronomer, geographer and proto-science fiction writer. Neither the copyist nor illustrator is named, and the copy is undated. The nature of paper, script, ink, illumination, and illustrations suggest that it was produced in provincial Mughal India, possibly the Punjab, in the 17th century. Jinn are supernatural creatures as mentioned in the Qur'an and often referred to in Arab folklore and Islamic mythology that occupy a parallel world to that of mankind. Jinn, humans and angels make up the three sentient creations of Allah. The Qur'an mentions that Jinn are made of smokeless flame or scorching fire. Like human beings, the Jinn can also be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent.
