Persian Kalila wa Dimna Miniature Painting | Handmade Six-Panel Animal Fable Art

This six-panel miniature painting draws inspiration from Kalila wa Dimna — the celebrated Persian collection of animal fables, tracing back to the ancient Indian Panchatantra and translated into Persian in the 12th century. Each panel unfolds a different episode: a prowling tiger, a hunting hound, two figures in quiet dispute, a pair of deer in flight, a bird hunt, and a solitary figure by the water. Framed by Nastaliq calligraphy panels and a traditional floral cartouche border, the painting is hand-rendered on aged paper using natural pigments — continuing a storytelling tradition that has captivated readers and collectors for centuries.
