Qur'an Manuscript Folio

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Qur'an Manuscript Folio shows a yellowed piece of parchment with dark brown spots and stains. The parchment is rectangular with rough, torn edges. It has a darker border around the edges and lighter center. There are rows of Arabic script written in dark brown ink. The text is arranged in lines, with some areas more faded than others. The parchment appears aged, with visible signs of wear and tear.
