拍品專文

A slightly larger but stylistically very similar kufic Qur’an section is in the Chester Beatty Library (inv. Ms. 1402; Arthur J. Arberry, The Koran Illuminated, Dublin, 1967, no. 2, pl. 11.) Both folios have very distinctive rounded mim, waw, and ha letters and gold sura headings with horizontally extended letters.
