Face painting box – Qajar style miniatures

Description

You are looking at a pencil case from the Marmaris collection, which is a must-have for every home with authentic Iranian decoration.
A box full of vivid and rich colors, a portrait of two Gajri lovers with the symbolic faces of that era, their glamorous and luxurious clothes, and a romantic poem that shows what this man has in love with the past.
One of the characteristics of Qajar style paintings is the use of warm, vivid and contrasting colors. In this design as well, the silver solution on the crimson background, the golden motifs on the border on the green background, are all an inheritance of this feature of the Gujri style and instills a sense of originality.
The artist of this Marmaris box is Mrs. Maryam Khosravi, who created this work with beauty.
What makes this marble box extremely attractive is to arouse curiosity to find out the story of these two Gajri characters. These two faces are drawn in such a way, as if we have printed a photo of two real characters and framed them among these motifs. Certainly, this verse of Rumi’s romantic poem was not ineffective in creating this feeling; This verse of the poem seems to tell the hardship of the era; Maybe the root of the story lies in a coffee pot!
