The Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, #Iran is known as the #Pink #Mosque It gets its name from rose-colored tiles covering mosque exterior & pink hue sunlight creates on interior when it shines through stained glass windows Built in late 19th century during Qajar dynasty, the mosque is not just a place of worship, but a work of #art showing #beauty & #creativity of Islamic #architecture & #design. #Islam #SilentSunday #history @histodons #culture #histodons #muslim #CreativeToots 10 comments

@EgyptianAphorist @histodons it's so beautiful! I remember hearing something ages ago about how new dyes were being developed at the time

@marnanel @histodons Before the introduction of modern aniline dyes in the late 19th century, the range of dyes available in Persia was rather limited and all dyes were made using natural and vegetal sources. New synthetic dyes were developed in late 19th century Iran, which led to the appearance of richer colors in Iranian carpets.

@EgyptianAphorist @histodons what a wonderful place to just bee and rest one's eyes on intricate beauty. I had to stop and look and absorb each image. Thank you Yahia
