Niloofar in High Summer | Framed Miniature

"Niloofar" is a twelve-petaled water lily rosette drawn from the stone carvings of Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire.

In ancient Persia, its radial form was a piece of sacred geometry , with the petals mirroring the twelve months of the year.

Once used to decorate grand palace stairways, this symmetrical motif is far more than mere ornament; it remains a timeless emblem of harmony, continuity, and the quiet rhythm of renewal.
