Iran . 20th Century. Box Painted With A Scene Under The Moon
Traditional Iranian culture and its poetry infuse even modest everyday objects, like this little box for storing pencils or small jewels.
Made and decorated before revolution, probably in the 50's, the lid is decorated with multiple characters under the moon.
This certainly alludes to a tradition that of course I'm unaware of, but the delicacy of the painter allows us to feel the reverie of this scene.
