..... From the days of ancient Persia we find Z in the roll of Zoroaster, The Persian Prophet.

Today a reader named Amy sent me some images and this email.

Recently my father gave a me a scroll. He told me it was a 17th Century Persian Ivory Scroll and that it was an heirloom. I have done some research on the item, and while not having much luck on the item, came across your website. You mention Ancient Persia on your site, and I thought maybe you may know something about it.

There is a sticker on the item which reads, "Ivory Scroll, Persia, circa 17th Century". I would be delighted if you would email me back with any information you may have on this piece.
