介绍（中）	这只画得精致的镜柜有一块棕褐色的地面，上面覆盖着一幅优雅的金色葡萄藤卷轴，上面的主要设计被画成了精致的黑色。艺术家Fathallah Shirazi在箱子的一侧签下了自己的名字并给出了日期（1295/1878）。另一面的铭文暗示了这位赞助人，但没有给出他的名字。Fathallah是Nasir al-Din Shah（1848–96年在位）的宫廷画家，因其漆器而备受推崇，这主要是从许多笔盒中得知的。这些通常有一个黑色的地面，上面用金色画着椭圆形的卷轴和玫瑰花。然而，在这个镜柜上，各种光滑的鸟类和健壮的蝴蝶散布在树枝之间，树枝上开出了耀眼的花朵和爆裂的花蕾。画家的这幅早期作品似乎是这种特定风格中唯一已知的例子。
介绍（英）	The exquisitely painted mirror case has a tan ground covered with a graceful gold grapevine scroll over which the main design has been painted in delicate shades of black. The artist, Fathallah Shirazi, has signed his name and given the date (1295/1878) on one side of the case. The inscription on the other side alludes to the patron but does not give his name. Fathallah was court painter to Nasir al-Din Shah (r. 1848–96), and was highly regarded for his lacquerwork, which is known primarily from a number of penboxes. These most often have a black ground onto which oval scrolls and swags of roses are painted in gold. On this mirror case, however, a variety of sleek birds and robust butterflies are scattered among branches bearing a dazzling array of sumptuous blossoms and bursting buds. This early work of the painter would appear to be the only known example in this particular style.
