The backgammon side of this exquisite handmade Persian game board is adorned with two captivating miniature paintings, each narrating an ancient tale of love, longing, and mysticism from the heart of Persian culture.
1. The Wine of Her Heart
Step into the Gardens of Forgotten Persia, where the moonlit daughter Mehrbanoo offers a chalice of wine—not ordinary wine, but the very essence of her heart, aged in silence and sweetened by unspoken dreams. Before her kneels Shahyar, a noble soul lost in the deserts of devotion, ready to drink her offering and surrender to love’s eternal spell. It is said that under a certain Persian moon, one might still hear echoes of her pouring, and his whisper calling her name like a prayer.

2. The Reed’s Lament and the Enchanted Heart
In the Land of Song and Blossom, unfolds the tender story of Azargoon, the maiden with night-dark hair, and Bahram, the enchanted reed-player. His melodies, born from a sacred reed connected to ancient lovers Khosrow and Shirin, awaken a deep yearning in all who hear it. Azargoon, drawn by his music, surrenders to the magic of his notes. Words become unnecessary—the reed speaks, and hearts listen. Legend says that at dusk, deep in Persian mists, one can still hear Bahram’s melody and catch sight of Azargoon, lost in his eternal song.
