Mohammed ibn Ali was the son of Ali, grandson of Abdallah, and great-grandson of Abbas, the uncle of the Prophet. As an Abbasid claimant, he received the deputies of Chorasan, establishing the connections that would eventually lead to the Abbasid revolution and the overthrow of the Umayyad dynasty.
Description
A noble Abbasid figure of middle age with the dignified bearing appropriate to his distinguished lineage. His appearance reflects both his religious heritage as a descendant of the Prophet's uncle and his political status as a claimant to authority, wearing garments that befit his noble station.
