The photo shows the plaster ceiling of the music room of Ali Qapu Palace. Ali Qapu Palace located in western edge of Naghsh-e-Jahan square in Isfahan city, built during Shaah Abbas I of Safavid (1597). There is a hall in the last floor of this 6-floor palace called “the music hall”. This hall takes its name for the peculiar Stucco shaped as porcelain jars in its ceiling which produces a strong echo and reflection of sounds in the hall resulting in a louder music in the palace. Everything is red in this hall, the ceiling, ground, and walls. It’s unique and glorious repetitive stucco ornaments
