Folio from a Qur'an; right side of bifolio

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a page from a Qur'an, with yellow Arabic calligraphy on a white background. The text is arranged in lines, with each line containing several words written in a flowing script. The text is framed by an ornate border that features intricate patterns and designs in shades of gold, red, green, and blue. The border is made up of repeating geometric shapes and floral motifs. The page has a worn and aged appearance, with visible signs of aging such as discoloration and stains. The right side of a bifolio, the page appears to be part of a larger manuscript or book. The overall design and layout of the page suggest a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
