15 May 2026
Description

"A complete and finely decorated Ottoman-era Quran manuscript. The colophon (last page) states that it was completed on Saturday, the 25th of Shaban, in the year 1283 AH (approximately 1867 AD). It was written by the calligrapher Sheikh Mansour bin Mustafa Mansour. The manuscript features two lavishly illuminated opening pages (Unwan) with gold leaf and vibrant floral patterns. The text is written in a clear and elegant Naskh script with black ink, while the names of Allah and surah headings are highlighted in red and gold. Verses are separated by gold-leaf rosettes, and the margins are decorated with colorful floral motifs. The manuscript appears to be in very good condition with its original decorations preserved."
