Museum of Islamic Art Monkey Puzzle (200 pcs)
QR 130.00
A 200-piece puzzle inspired by the Turquoise-Glazed Monkey-Shaped Animal Figurine, a Museum of Islamic Art collection. The figurine is consistent with the fine ceramic wares produced in central Iran - particularly the city of Kashan - in the 12th and 13th centuries. The monkey’s expression highlights what would have been the case for the actual monkeys which entertained the people of medieval Iran, who might have performed tricks in the streets or been central characters in puppetry performances. Monkeys were thought to bring good fortune.
