Qur'an Manuscript Folio

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged piece of paper with Arabic writing on it. The paper is rectangular and has a rough, uneven edge, with some areas torn or worn away, particularly in the top-right corner. The paper's surface is stained and discolored, with darker brown spots and edges. The text on the paper is written in black ink and consists of rows of Arabic script. The writing is dense and covers most of the page, with some areas having more text than others. The text appears to be written in a formal, cursive style, with intricate flourishes and diacritical marks. The background of the image is black, providing a stark contrast to the yellowed paper. A small portion of a white background is visible on the right side of the image. This image is a Qur'an manuscript folio by an unknown artist.
