The Simurgh bird statue is a remarkable symbol of Persian heritage, meticulously crafted in the 20th century. This masterpiece, carved on steel, is surrounded by four Capricorn heads, signifying deep cultural symbolism. Its intricate decoration employs the gilding technique known as koftgari and showcases 24-caliber craftsmanship.
This statue is an original work, hand-signed by the renowned artist Majid Johryan, a master metal sculptor born in 1975 (1395 AH). Majid was trained by his father, Hajj Mohammed Johryan, who inherited this craft from his grandfather, the eminent teacher Ibrahim Johryan. This lineage traces back to the Mystic Age, where the Johryan family’s artistry flourished among Persian tribes.
Majid Johryan has presented his work in numerous local and international exhibitions, with some pieces featured in esteemed national and international museums.
