Instagram teamed up with British-Iranian illustrator Mariam Tafsiri on three new stickers welcoming the beginning of spring to celebrate Persian New Year (Nowruz), which begins Saturday (March 20).

Instagram said Tafsiri’s illustrations are inspired by Qajar art, Persian miniature paintings and Islamic designs.

The Facebook-owned photo- and video-sharing network added that her interest in Qajar art developed at an early age, taking inspiration from the unibrowed women who present a very different concept of beauty to that regularly portrayed in popular media.

The stickers will be available for use in Instagram
