سیاره زهره
The image illustrates a unique blend of cultural influences, where astrological figures from the Persian world are represented as multi-armed deities, a style clearly inspired by Indian iconography.
Key Features of the Illustration
The Figure: A four-armed representation of Venus (Zuhra) seated on a chariot and dressed in a sari.
The Chariot: She is shown riding a distinctive chariot with multiple wheels, being pulled by what appear to be turtles.
Symbolism: In Islamic legend, Zuhra is considered the “Supernal Minstrel,” often associated with music, love, and beauty. Traditional astrology also links Venus to aesthetics, luxuries, and femininity.
While similar in style to Indian miniature painting “Watercolour Gouache” paintings of deities like Surya (the sun god), this specific work is part of a series of Persian astrological art that depicts planets with these characteristic multi-armed forms.
