3D Goldfish Persian Pool حوض
A “3D goldfish Persian pool” or “Haoz” (حوض) is a type of intricate, three-dimensional papercraft that is often used to decorate homes during Nowruz, the Persian New Year. This craft usually depicts a traditional Persian pool with goldfish swimming, which is a common motif in Persian art and architecture.
The Haoz is traditionally made by cutting and folding paper into a complex, three-dimensional shape that mimics the look of a traditional Persian pool. The craft is typically made out of thin and colorful paper, such as crepe paper, and decorated with various symbols, such as flowers and geometric patterns, that are meant to bring good luck and prosperity for the new year.
The Haoz is often displayed as a table centerpiece during Nowruz and is sometimes accompanied by other traditional Nowruz decorations such as the Haft-Seen table setting, a unique table setting used to celebrate Nowruz.
The art of making Haoz is a traditional handicraft, which can be passed down from generation to generation. And it’s an integral part of the Nowruz culture.
Making Haoz is a way to take part in tradition and culture, that is appreciated and enjoyed by many.
It’s worth mentioning that some people today opt for using plastic or foam and even 3D printing, to have a lasting and more durable version of Haoz, and this way it can be reused multiple times.
