Persian blue Minakari plate (Persian enamel painting on copper)

A beautiful Minakari (Persian enamel art), a craft that has been a staple of Iranian culture—specifically in Isfahan—for thousands of years. it has artistic design and symbolism follows a traditional Persian sunburst pattern. It radiates from a central medallion, symbolizing the sun or a spiritual centre, outward to the scalloped edges. You can see intricate  scrolls and floral motifs throughout. These represent the “Tree of Life” and the infinite nature of the divine through repetitive, flowing lines. The dominant use of Lajvard (deep lapis blue) and Firoozeh (turquoise) is classic. These colours in Persian art, blue represents the sky, peace, and spirituality.
