Timurid Gilt leaf of Illuminated Arabic Manuscript, c. 1480 A.D.
Timurid Gilt leaf of Illuminated Arabic Manuscript, c. 1480 A.D.
This fine quality manuscript leaf is from a remaindered Koran in very mixed condition, but some of which could be saved.

Sura headings are within very fine illuminated panels inside cartouches of floral scrolls. A worthy addition to a collection of early Islamic manuscripts, some 500 years old and during the early Tudor period in England.
