  • Full Description

    Khamseh district northwest Iran. Though in appearance this panel looks very damaged, in fact the main problem is that due to it's age the corrosive brown has all but disappeared. The execution of the design is near perfect and the cheerful colors are fabulous. For some reason, probably due to the incredible strength of the red, the lemon yellow appears to be almost orange in the last image.
