Enamel (Mina in Persian) is the ancient art of decorating different metals, mostly copper with colorful paintings ad designs. Once the designs are painted on the decorative piece, it is baked in very high temperatures after that the painting is permanent art work on the piece. The evidence of ancient mina work still remains in museums in and outside of Iran which is a sign of a long time interest in mina ever since the Achaemenid and Sasanian Empires.
