The wedding certificate was painted entirely by hand in the tradition of the Persian miniature. The border design is built up of layers of transparent colours with accents in opaque gouache in order to give a rich, velvet-like texture to the dark blue triangles. Metalic copper is used for the inside border. The poetry around the edges is the original Persian text by Rumi, while the same poem is written out in English translation in the center along with the names of the Bride and Groom. | |
