TWO PAGES OF MAGHRIBI QURAN FOLIO, NORTH AFRICA OR ANDALUSIA, 13TH CENTURY
The script is large, bold Maghribi, written in a rich dark brown ink, with sweeping curves and distinctive, angular. Diacritical marks (vowelization) are meticulously added in vivid red, green, blue, and yellow inks, providing both phonetic guidance and visual rhythm across the lines.




Each page is arranged in a consistent five-line format, with spacious line spacing allowing the grandeur of the script to breathe. Gold roundels and trefoil-shaped markers punctuate the verses, acting as ornamental separators and highlighting the sacred cadence of the text.





24.5 x 21.5 cm each
