A Persian Calligraphy
$400.00
A 20th Century poster of Persian poetry and calligraphy. The piece can be very roughly translated as "They wrote on the poppies' leaves with the blood of roses."
The imagery of writing good deeds in the color of a poppy's blood emphasizes sacrifice, martyrdom, or deep, heartfelt commitment. The two stylized red "blood drops" in the center visually reinforce the poem's theme of blood and sacrifice.
The piece measures 22” x 18” and is ready to be displayed.
