The Kaan’s nephews appear among the assembled court at formal feasts, seated to his right but below his level. Their matching robes of beaten gold and silk mark their place within the royal household. The account offers no individual portrait or further personal history.
Description
The nephews are not individually distinguished in the account, and no particular features, ages, or builds are given. They appear as a group in formal court robes of beaten gold and silk, colored to match the Great Kaan’s attire. Their seated position to his right, lower than his own, gives their appearance a measured, deferential formality.
