Description
This reproduction follows “Golden Calligraphic Rooster on Blue — Mishkín-Qalam, Archive 40”, dated 19th–early 20th century; before 1912 and held by Historical work reproduced in the Society for Persian Letters and Arts archive. The source credits the maker as Mishkín-Qalam (c. 1826–1912).
A golden rooster formed from lettering rises on a blue field. Its visual association with dawn and light is discussed in scholarship on Mishkín-Qalam; the visible inscription is not independently translated here. Distinct composition 40 in the archival sequence of Mishkín-Qalam’s work. The descriptive title identifies the archived image and does not invent a translation of its inscription. The photographed historical leaf is reproduced with its existing ornament and margins; any physical mount belongs to the source document, not to the frame selected for the reproduction.
Choose an art print or an oil interpretation on canvas, then select your size and finish. The digitized composition keeps its proportions; the original object’s measurements, where known, do not limit the reproduction sizes offered.
The original object’s medium is recorded below using the museum’s terminology. A manuscript, drawing or print reproduced on canvas is an interpretation of that document; its original paper, silk, pigments and gilding are not the materials of the reproduction.
