Originating from the Iranian Book of Fixed Stars, this artifact beautifully captures the fusion of art and astronomy prevalent during that era. The intricate design features a symmetrical arrangement of constellations against a backdrop reminiscent of Persian artwork. The vibrant colors bring life to each celestial figure, highlighting their significance in ancient Iranian culture. Birds are intricately woven into this cosmic tapestry, symbolizing freedom and spirituality.
