For centuries, the royal ateliers of Afghanistan have been home to the finest miniature painters of the Persian world. In the artistic centre of Herat, today’s western Afghanistan, artists took inspiration from the gardens and topography of this ancient city depicting the region’s landscapes, flora, and fauna to accompany hand-written poetry and literary texts in elaborate manuscripts. Taking us back to the ateliers of Herat, the miniature jewellery presented here references this famous style of artistic work.
