Qur'an Manuscript Folio

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image displays a page from the Qur'an manuscript. The page is off-white, with a yellowish tint. The text on the page consists of Arabic calligraphy in various colors, including gold, blue, red, and green. There are two circular gold designs on the page with intricate patterns and blue borders, one on the left side and one below the text. The text is written in a flowing script, with some letters and words highlighted in gold. The background of the page is slightly worn and frayed around the edges. The overall design and layout of the page suggest that it is an example of traditional Islamic art and calligraphy. The artist and title are: Qur'an Manuscript Folio.
