داستان اکوان دیو شاهنامه فروسی، کار نقاشی از معین مصور استاد اصفهانی، اواسط قرن ۱۷ میلادی، موزه متروپولیتن نیویورک

...چو رستم بگفتار او بنگرید
هوا در کف دیو واژونه دید

چنین گفت با خویشتن پیلتن
که بد نامبردار هر انجمن

گر اندازدم گفت بر کوهسار
تن و استخوانم نیاید بکار

بدریا به آید که اندازدم
کفن سینهٔ ماهیان سازدم

وگر گویم او را بدریا فگن
بکوه افگند بدگهر اهرمن...

Fol. 158v: The Div Akvan carries Rustam to the Sea: On a quest to find a div (demon) that had been killing the shah’s herds, Rustam grew tired and went to sleep in a meadow. The div, Akvan, spied him and lifted him with the mound of earth on which he lay. As Rustam trembled with fear, Akvan said: "Tell me where you want me to leave you. Shall I throw you into the sea or onto the mountains?" Rustam chose the mountains, knowing that the div would do the opposite. The orange div with its flaming gold eyelids and strangely shaped horns is typical within the work of Mu‘in Musavvir, who illustrated a number of Shahnama manuscripts in the second half of the seventeenth century.
