**Minakari** (or **Meenakari**) is a traditional Persian art form involving the intricate process of enameling metal surfaces, typically copper, silver, or gold. This decorative craft combines painting, coloring, and glazing to create beautiful, detailed designs on objects like jewelry, plates, vases, and other ornamental pieces. 
The process of Minakari involves applying a glassy coating of enamel to the metal surface, which is then fired in a kiln. This fusing of colors creates vivid, long-lasting designs. Traditional motifs often feature floral patterns, birds, and geometric shapes, inspired by Persian culture and nature. The colors used are vibrant and varied, ranging from deep blues and greens to bright reds and yellows.
Minakari has a rich history dating back several centuries and is primarily associated with Isfahan, a city in Iran known for its craftsmanship and arts. Today, it remains a cherished cultural tradition, admired for its beauty and complexity.
