Miniature Hand Painted Jewelry Box - HM1008 | Persiada

Miniature Painting or Miniator is a small handmade oil painting on paper as a book illustration or more commonly on a piece of camel bone.

The bright and pure colouring of the Persian miniature is one of its most striking attributions to these paintings.

Persian Miniature is comparable to the Western and Byzantine traditions of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts.
