Tomb of Hafez
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.
A travel poster of the Hafezieh at golden hour. The open pavilion stands on its round stepped platform in the middle of the frame, eight spiral columns holding up a turquoise dome, the tiled soffit above the grave patterned in blue, rose and gold. Cypresses rise on both sides, orange trees stand in fruit behind the rose beds, and the Zagros go rose and gold along the horizon. شیراز sits in the sky and SHIRAZ along the base.
- The octagonal pavilion with spiral-fluted columns and a green-blue tiled dome
- The marble grave slab visible through the columns
- Two cats asleep on the warm stone, and doves crossing the sky
- Cypress, bitter orange trees in fruit, and beds of roses in the foreground
- A warm palette of cream, apricot, sage and rose
The pavilion is younger than it looks. André Godard, the French architect who ran Iran's antiquities service, built it in 1935 over the older grave; its eight columns are said to stand for the eighth century of the Hijri calendar, which is the century Hafez lived in. People still come here to take a fal — you open the Divan at random, read the ghazal your thumb lands on, and take it as an answer. The roses and the nightingales are not decoration either: gol-o-bolbol is the oldest pairing in Persian poetry, and Shiraz is the city named for it.
Perfect for
- Travel poster walls and gallery groupings
- Readers of Hafez and Persian poetry
- Anyone with a connection to Shiraz
- Nowruz, wedding and housewarming gifts
