Happy handwritten Quran (Koran) manuscript leaf, framed and matted. Estate sale find, sold as-is and as-shown.
The page has 9 lines of Arabic text in black naskh script, each set within gold "cloud band" illumination, with a Persian (Farsi) interlinear translation written in red ink beneath each line. The text appears to be from Surah Al-An'am (chapter 6), verses 63-66. Gold and black ruled border lines surround the text.
PROVENANCE NOTE: A handwritten note on the backing board reads "Koran Leaf. Black = Arabic, Red Persian (Farsi) 16th Century," dated 15 Oct. 1988, with names and the number "#327." This is a prior owner's attribution only. I have not had the leaf authenticated or dated and make no claim as to its age or origin beyond what is written on the back.
MEASUREMENTS (approximate):- Frame: 11 3/4" wide x 17 1/2" tall- Visible leaf: 6 1/4" wide x 11" tall
CONDITION, PLEASE READ:- The leaf shows significant age wear: creasing and wrinkling, several small holes and losses (mostly upper half), tears, dark staining near the top, and general toning and soiling, as shown.- Some gold illumination is worn or flaking.- The frame has NOT been opened. I have not examined the reverse of the leaf or how it is mounted.- Silver aluminum frame with mat, glazed front, and hanging wire. Backing board has a small stain spot.- Only given a light wipe-down on the outside of the frame.
Please see all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. Sold as-is, as-shown.
Packed securely in an branded box and shipped quickly. Buy confidently!
