Description
Persian - probably Iran, ca. 18th to early 19th century CE. Stunning painted bone plaque - possibly from a small box. Amazingly detailed and exquisitely painted with gold based paint as well as shades of blue, green, red and black. Young man fondling the consort to his right, her hand reaching toward the sash on his robe; elderly man with beard and another woman in the scene to his far left. The pattern of the robes, the tiled wall behind the figure to the right, and the details of the scenery behind are all just incredible! Size: 4-1/4"W x 1-3/4"H.
