This print showcases an exquisite illustration of three types of Nard (Nardostachys jatamansi) as depicted by Mirza Baqir in a 19th-century Iranian book. The original artwork is based on the first-century AD work "De Materia Medica" by Greek physician and botanist Pedanius Dioscorides, highlighting the intersection of ancient Greek knowledge with Islamic artistry.

From ancient Greece to 19th-century Iran, this image encapsulates centuries worth of knowledge passed down through generations. It serves as a testament to humanity's continuous exploration and appreciation for nature's gifts.
