Vintage Persian Miniature Hand Painted Tile Scholar Dervish Oriental Art Plaque

Beautiful vintage hand-painted Persian miniature-style artwork featuring a seated scholar or dervish examining an illustrated manuscript. The detailed scene includes traditional robes, a hookah, prayer beads, books, and stylized foliage rendered in classic Middle Eastern miniature style. The artwork is painted on a smooth ivory-colored panel (material unknown—possibly ceramic, bone, resin, or composite). It appears to be signed in the lower left in Persian/Arabic script. This would make an attractive display piece for collectors of Persian, Islamic, or Middle Eastern art.
