Before the 14th century (8th century AH) in Islamic illustrated manuscripts, the absence of the horizon line in paintings created distinctive features in the visual composition. The Arabian and Persian artists of these periods created visual anchors to create coherence and strength among the scene elements. These anchors organized the elements around them and prevented the suspension of different parts of the image, even though the boundaries between the ground and the sky were not clearly defined. With the aim of understanding and evaluating the effectiveness of visual anchors, this research categorizes them into two groups of scenes showing nature and scenes showing faces. In scenes depicting nature, visual anchors are drawn either above (depicting the sky) or below the scene (depicting the ground). In the scenes of the figures, following the balanced composition of the oriental wall paintings, the visual anchor is placed on the central figure. The central figure, which is the largest, occupies the point of balance, and the central figure's the position of cross-legged emphasizes the visual continuity along the horizontal axis of balance. As a result, the balanced centrality of this composition makes the surrounding figures communicate with the central figure and create a coherent image.
