Nowruz Haft-sin Table Near Szczecin Shrine

Low tungsten light spills from a window onto a Nowruz haft-sin arrangement placed on a wooden table. Seven distinct green herbs, silver coins, and painted eggs sit in rows beside a round mirror reflecting the dim room. Tall candles in brass holders stand unlit against the predawn gloom. The shrine walls are lined with hanging lanterns that cast faint amber glows on peeling plaster. Through the window, dramatic clouds move across a dark autumn sky, their heavy gray forms against the warm interior tones. One candle flame flickers in the mirror, revealing the texture of the woven tablecloth and the dust motes dancing in the narrow beam of light.
