Persian script at the top and bottom suggests it was originally part of a manuscript. Estimated to date from the early 20th century, this piece is a stunning example of traditional Persian artistry. Some signs of aging and wear add to its authenticity and character. A unique collectible for lovers of Islamic and Persian art.
