Description
The original benches are found in the village of Marivan by the Lake Zarivar, in the Kurdish part of Iran. The area belongs to the region of Kermanshah, located close to the Iraqi border. The two benches are part of a series decorated with various proverbs with a common theme: life in a city.
The captions on these specific benches read: "A good city could not be found, you have to build it” and "If you have a good hometown, you have everything."
