A LEGACY OF A FORGOTTEN EMPIRE
Neda Tahniat's philosophy is based on dedication to the beauty of a pure heart and soul.
The Ancient Splendor of Persepolis
In its time, Persia was one of the greatest nations in the world. It was an abundant empire, rich with architecture, craftsmanship and art. The Persians were a strong and peaceful people who shaped an epoch of human civilisation.
ESSENCE OF PERSIA
In her pieces, you will often find the symbol of Farvahar: the winged man. He is a unifying icon from Ancient Persia and his age symbolises wisdom. He points forward with one hand, guiding towards the good future life while leaving all bad behind. In his other hand he is holding a ring which represents faithfulness and unbreakable loyalty.
The center ring stands for both the eternity of the universe and the eternal nature of our soul. Finally, his three wings are a reminder of the Persians' simple guidelines for life — a pure and simple mindset guiding us to be kind, humble and positive.
It is a crafted memory of a great people's pursuit of a better existence. Carrying the symbol and keeping the Persian saying in mind reminds us to believe in what is good. A reminder that we all should think good thoughts, say good words and do good deeds.
