Catalogue Note
The inscribed cartouches in the border read: The curl of your hair is looking like a tulip, your smile is looking like the rose going to open, the stirring (excitement of love) of my heart and my adventurous mind will be forgotten when I feel your presence. They can feel the kingdom, the people who are serving as your slaves of love.
