Qur'an Manuscript Folio

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged manuscript page with Arabic calligraphy. The page is rectangular with rounded corners and rough edges. The background is a light-brown color with darker brown spots and stains throughout. There are six lines of Arabic text written in black ink, with one line written in gold ink. The text is written in a flowing script, with some words connected and others separated. There are five small, gold-colored illustrations resembling flowers or stars with eight petals, scattered around the text. The illustrations are placed above, below, and beside the lines of text.
