Calligraphy: Preface to the Anvar-i Suhaili

Cleveland Museum of Art

Calligraphy: Preface to the Anvar-i Suhaili by Sultan Bayezid II. The image shows a piece of aged paper with a dark green border and gold flecks. The paper is a light brown color with darker brown spots and stains. The dark green border around the paper has gold flecks and is surrounded by a thin red line and a thin beige line. The text on the paper is written in black calligraphy and appears to be in Arabic script. The calligraphy is written in several lines. The overall appearance of the image suggests that it is an old, possibly historical, piece of art. The image has a white background.
