Around the body Persian poetry, including the lines:
‘Oh, you, whose will it is to hurt me for years and months,
Who are free from me and glad at my anguish,

It is I who have caused this breach.’
(translation M. Bayani in Oya Pancaroğlu, Perpetual Glory, 2007, p. 103)



Further details

Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin property. Bidders must familiarise themselves with any laws or shipping restrictions that apply to them before bidding. For example, the USA prohibits dealings in and import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (such as carpets, textiles, decorative objects, and scientific instruments) without an appropriate licence. Christie’s has a general OFAC licence which, subject to compliance with certain conditions, would enable a buyer to import this type of lot into the USA. If you intend to use Christie’s licence, please contact us for further information before you bid.
