Description

In the Persian language this piece was called Mask-i-Aparzen, or "the tent of command", in which the king's advisor was to direct the battle, which then became the abbreviated term farzen / farsin and then firzan / vizier in Arabic (councilor /Prime Minister). Only after the arrival of the game in Europe did it become the dominion / queen we know today. Always cylindrical in shape like the king, it differs for its slightly smaller dimensions and for the curvilinear section of the lower part of the frontal carving. Furthermore, a small flat-headed wedge was inserted into the central cavity, now lost.
