In (52b) the sultan is seated with two of his sons and with his attendants in his tent as they observe the performances. (According to Vehbi however, the sultan was not present to see the acts depicted in the next frame.) The grand vizier is watching from his tent in the lower left. (According to Vehbi, Ali Pasha, the governor of Raqqa who only managed to reach İstanbul after a long and difficult journey on the third day of the festival, was admitted to İbrahim Pasha’s tent as a guest on this day. In the lower right corner of this frame is a small group of veiled women whose further intrusion into the field is being blocked by a line of janissaries. According to Vehbi, after the grand vizier had received Ali Pasha, the signal was given for the start of a musical concert of some two hours’ duration. In (53a) we can see musicians arrayed in a semicircle playing a variety of instruments and led by a yellow-garbed figure wielding a çevgân, hooked staff with tiny bells. In the lower left corner, Muhzır Agha is wrestling with a bear and to their right is one of the pairs of goat-riding apes that put on a show. Near the left edge of the frame are three acts that took place just before the sultan’s arrival: two displays of prowess by Egyptian acrobats and a goat balanced on a pole being carried by one of the ape-handlers.
