Sarita

Inside the image.

A square cover with a heavily textured, painterly surface. The image is divided loosely between a fiery field of orange, red and yellow on the left and a large human face on the right. The face is shown close up and turned slightly towards the left; its brow, eyes, nose and closed mouth emerge in muted brown, plum and grey tones. The eyes appear lowered or shut, though the painted texture makes their exact expression indistinct. Dark curved bands cross the lower face and neck, while a vivid magenta-purple area sits beneath the chin.

A bright yellow-orange flame-like shape rises through the centre-left, with irregular tongues reaching upwards and blending into the surrounding red. At the far left, narrow vertical streaks of green, blue and violet break through the warm colours. The right edge and upper background are darker, with maroon and brown patches surrounding the face. Across the whole cover, a fine crackled, crosshatched texture resembles a rough painted or embossed surface; the image has no separate border or clearly defined empty area.

The word “Sarita” appears near the top right in large, yellow hand-drawn lettering, with a curling accent over the ‘i’. Smaller pale yellow-green lettering reading “Tecvpm Iran” sits near the lower left; the exact lettering is somewhat difficult to distinguish. Both inscriptions lie directly over the image, without a box or panel.
