# Where the two fight
# - Ethiopian Icon and Persian Miniature share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Ethiopian Icon: Extracting the large eyes as a style breaks the balance of heavy outline and flat color, and the result becomes cartoon caricature.
# - Persian Miniature: Converting the multiple viewpoints into single-point perspective collapses the space and destroys the picture's ability to narrate simultaneous events.
