Ink, gouache and shell gold build a 24-point starburst that echoes the blue-and-turquoise tile ceilings of Timurid mosques. Checkerboard bands and eight-point stars ring the mandala, while Chinese-style clouds and two small sparrows drift across a pale sky, their flight traced by sinuous gold ribbons. The mix of Central Asian geometry, Persian illumination and East-Asian cloud motifs turns this rosette into a bright, celestial medallion.
