The inscription cartouche contains a variant on a couplet by Sa'di, which reads an sarv kih guyand ba-bala-yi tu manad, hargiz ba-chunin qamat u raftar nabashad - 'That cypress which they say is of your height, can never be of such stature and behaviour'

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 on these lots. 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.
