Qur'an Manuscript Folio

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a yellowed, aged manuscript page with Arabic calligraphy. The text is black and written in a flowing script. A thin black border surrounds the text, which is divided into 12 lines. Yellow flowers or motifs are scattered throughout the text. The page has a beige background with darker spots and stains, and the right edge appears worn and torn. The top-right corner is damaged, with pieces of tape holding it together. The overall appearance suggests an old, possibly historical, manuscript. The text is likely a passage from the Qur'an, given the title.
