The Inside always had the best form of Iranian architecture, like the hall of mirrors in Golestan Palace. That’s why the inside of the piece has mirrors and enameling which are both important features of traditional Iranian art and architecture. The other side of the piece is using the other forms and motifs of Iranian architecture that exist in Golestan Palace and also features Neyshabur Turquoise stone.
