Curator's Comment
Touri's daughter Neda remembered that Princess Diana's children had placed a yellow rose arrangement on their mother's grave when she died. Neda thought this idea was really sweet so she purchased a similar one in 2001. Neda saved this small artificial arrangement and donated it to the museum to represent that gesture.
