Sati Beg (fl. 1316–1345) was an Ilkhanid princess, the sister of Il-Khan Abu Sa'id (r. 1316–1333). She was the consort of amir Chupan (1319–1327), Il-Khan Arpa (r. 1335–36), and Il-Khan Suleiman (r. 1339–1343). In 1338–39, she was briefly the Ilkhanid khatun (queen regnant) during internal conflicts (and fragmentation), appointed by a Chobanid faction led by Hassan Kuchak.

Here Wright also cites a personal conversation with Stefano Carboni (September 1994) concerning the possibility that the Mu'nis al ahrar's enthroned couple might represent Sadi Beg, the sister of the Ilkhanid ruler Abu Sa'Id, with either her husband or her son. While agreeing with Wright that the woman may be the more important figure in this scene and perhaps even the manuscript's patron (because of her position to the right of the man), Carboni's own most recent view is only that the painting doubtless represents a Mongol royal couple, without venturing any specific identifications.
