The collection includes ceramics, metalware, glassware, Persian silk brocade, carpets, and miniature paintings.

The iconic Gold Lion-Headed Armband is central to the display, dating back to the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BC) and mainly used in ceremonies where rulers granted legitimacy to their subordinates, symbolizing mutual vows of loyalty between both parties.  [Photo/WeChat account: tianhefabu]

Organized into three thematic sections, the exhibition traces Iran's rich artistic legacy and highlights the cultural diplomacy between Iran and China.
