Page from a Qur'an (recto)
The image shows a yellowed, aged page from a Qur'an. The page is rectangular with rough, uneven edges and a darker border around the edges. The text on the page is written in Arabic calligraphy and appears to be in black ink, with some gold accents and red dots scattered throughout. There are three gold and blue decorative elements on the left side of the page, one circular and two elongated. The circular element is positioned at the bottom and features a sun-like design with lines extending from the center. The two elongated elements are positioned above and below the circular element. The top one is diamond-shaped, and the bottom one is more abstract. The background of the image is white.
