Description: The miniature is a type of artwork that involves the design and creation of small paintings on books, rugs, textiles, ceramics, and other items using raw materials such as gold, silver, and various organic substances. Historically the miniature was exemplified by book painting, but the element has evolved and can also be observed in architecture and as an adornment in public spaces. It is a traditional craft typically transmitted through mentor-apprentice relationships and is an integral part of each society’s social and cultural identity.
