Asiatic Cheetah on a Yazd Windcatcher
Materials
Fine Art Prints
Premium archival matte fine art paper, 200–230 gsm. Smooth, bright white surface with an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging. Printed with archival inks for accurate color and high-contrast reproduction. FSC-certified sustainable paper.
Framed Prints
Solid wood frame, roughly 0.875″ wide, available in light, black, or white. Protected by shatterproof optical-grade acrylic — lighter and safer than glass, and it ships without risk of breakage. Dry-mounted to foam core with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire installed, ready to hang out of the box.
Production
Every piece is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse — your print is produced after you order it, at the facility closest to your address. That means it reaches you faster, travels less distance, and arrives with a smaller carbon footprint than something shipped from a single central location.
An Asiatic cheetah sits upright on the crown of a Yazd badgir, tail draped over the edge, watching something out beyond the frame. Behind it a full moon rises against a flat field of cobalt — no ground, no horizon, nothing but the tower and the night.
Yazd is the city of windcatchers, and the badgir is Persian engineering at its most elegant: a tower that draws desert air down into the rooms below and cools a house without a single moving part. Setting Iran's rarest cat on top of one is the whole idea of the piece — the wild plateau and the craft that learned to live on it, sharing the same high perch.
