Boutique store mannequins were once a vibrant and colorful addition to Iran's urban settings. In recent weeks these still and silent figurines had been spotted wearing masks as well as the finest clothes: in solidarity, or perhaps as a warning.

For the time being they sit shrouded in darkness, all but forgotten.
