Antique Persian Mosque Painting with Handwritten Inscriptions | 17 x 13 in (Framed)

EXPERT AUTHENTICATED

An exquisite antique Persian painting depicting a detailed view of a mosque adorned with intricate geometric and floral motifs. This sacred architectural rendering features a beautifully ornamented dome, twin minarets, and a prayer arch (mihrab), symbolizing the direction of Mecca.

The piece is framed in a dark wood frame, and prominently showcases Persian inscriptions—one gracefully placed above the central dome, and others finely detailed along the outer border, most likely quoting verses from religious texts or poetic praises of the divine.

This hand-painted artwork reflects the deep spiritual and artistic heritage of Persian Islamic art, likely originating from a devotional or architectural manuscript.
