<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9770564, member: 4654"][ATTACH=full]481720[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481721[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481722[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481723[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481725[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481727[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481728[/ATTACH] So my box has a painted scene around the outside of the box that repeats twice, they are almost exact copies of each other, so much so that only taking photos and comparing side by side shows there are slight differences. I have owned this box for years and always thought it wasn't hand painted and it was some sort of transfer printed modern tourist piece. Over the last few weeks I have been taking a deep dive into Iranian art and I am flabbergasted at the skill, this lead me back to my box thinking the artist might have just been that good to almost exactly replicate the scene twice instead of it being a transfer print and I'm pleased to see this is indeed the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
