Not according to the person who posted it, though Chat GPT thinks it's Persian or medieval, depending on which paragraph one reads.

I was going to say Lisbon airport, ca. 2025.

That's one of the answers that Chat GPT (surprisingly) doesn't give.
I've now found its museum listing, so will be able to give an authoritative answer when someone gets in the right area for age/provenance.

I won't cheat as I have seen it before. Were I unaware I would have taken a guess at Early Middle Ages, English or French, but I know it isn't!

I'd like to thank my mum, sort of, for dragging me around all manner of exhibitions of ancient civilisation artwork when I was younger. She'll be glad it's stuck with me.

My mum is why I love words.

I've been thinking about my folks a lot this year, they both turned 70. I drew pictures for them representing things which helped shape me, and represented them, their parents and our lives together.
Annoyingly I didn't take a picture of the one I did for my mum, but here's the one I did for my dad before I framed it.

Oh yeah, from left to right, that's LA, the pencil we use for all our DIY stuff, the Japanese cherry blossom tree at his folks' place, the fence we fixed there and the front of the garage too. Enduring and endearing memories.
My mum's has columns, flowers, a cat, Scrabble and aliens.
Both have notes on the back which I doubt they'll ever read, but that doesn't matter. I know they are there.

My mum died back in 2020, but I still think of things I've done I'd tell her about if she were still alive... "She'd love to know". And she always did love to know, and carried on being the proud mum she was from when I was four performing something or other at playgroup, through school, university, and career.
After dad died, we had some very memorable holidays together, and I was so pleased to be able to get her down to my French place three times, not only so she could enjoy it, but understand why I love it so too.
tl;dr Make the most of your time together, if you have lovely parents, and count your blessings, as not every is so lucky.

My parents died long ago, but, I still (automatically) seem to recall significant dates (eg their birthdays), tomorrow (19th) is or was my dad's birthday (he would have been 108). He died when he was 49, a long time ago, I dont think he would have enjoyed the world as it is now.
In conversation with my eldest son, he expressed surprise that I still recall birthdays etc, of my parents, which, I assume means I will soon be forgotten 😂, I suspect daughter No4 will remember me longer, only because the bank will be closed 😂
