Ferdowsi Bust

Description

In the heart of Ferdowsi University, where the name of Iran’s greatest epic poet shines proudly, a magnificent statue stands tall. The bust of Ferdowsi, the unrivaled poet of the Persian land, rises nearly eight meters high, like a banner of epic glory and national identity, overlooking students, passersby, and the flow of life.

Created and installed in 2021, this masterpiece holds the title of the largest Ferdowsi bust in Iran, serving as a monument to the grandeur and wisdom of the Shahnameh, inviting today’s generation to witness the timeless heritage of Iranian culture.

Now, Hicha Gallery, in collaboration with the Seraj Center for Artistic Creations, has produced a smaller, exquisitely crafted version of this bust, allowing lovers of Persian poetry and literature—and admirers of the great poet of Tus—to cherish this cultural and lasting keepsake as a meaningful gift.
