Folio from a Qur'an Manuscript. Dimensions: H. 13 1/8 in. (33.32 cm)W. 9 3/8 in. (23.8 cm). Date: late 9th-early 10th century.Like many early Qur'an folios, this one is written on parchment in black ink with a broad-nibbed reed pen. The horizontally elongated letters seen here are characteristic of early kufic Qur'ans on parchment, and are thought to be a response to the rectangular page format. The angular script is moderated by the roundness of several letters that look like large black dots, their inner blank spaces reduced almost to a needlepoint. Red and green dots indicate the vowel marks. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Gushtasp Slaying the Dragon, Page from an Illustrated Manuscript of the Shahnama of Firdawsi Gushtasp Slaying the Dragon, Page from an Illustrated Manuscript of the Shahnama of Firdawsi, ca. 1482. Ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper, 13 x 8 1/2 in. (32.5 x 21.3 cm).
