Dear John,
thank you for your friendly message!
You have attached two images to your E-Mail:
You are right: this little picture - cut contains an arrangement of many details!
The whole illuminated message was sent to me by Narges Assarzadegan from Isfahan and I will ask her about the meaning of the "historical" alarm clock as well as the two cats... and I will blame why there is no portable sundial on the table!
With good wishes for you!

Hi Reinhold,
What a nice email. I had no idea of Nowruz, and that Iranians like Chinese have a different New Year to us in the West. At least there is an astronomical basis for their year.
However, with my tongue firmly in my cheek, I have to point out that the image contains an alarm clock in the right foreground, rather than a sundial ;-). I realise that it is off-topic, but do you have any idea about the significance of the two cats in the image?
Cheers, John
