Naskh senaryosu – Kur’an ayetleri – 2

The verses 1-20 of the chapter of the Qur'an entitled al-Muzzammil (The Enshrouded One). The text is executed in a clear naskh and outlined by gold cloud bands decorated with red and blue flowers. Diacritics are executed in black ink, while some pronunciation and reading signs are picked out in red ink. Verse markers consist of six-petalled gold rosettes decorated with blue dots and red lines. The script, text layout, and illumination are all typical of Safavid Qur'ans produced during the second half of the 16th century in the southwestern Iranian city of Shiraz.
