A miniature lead from a much used and frail Quran originating in the state of Bihar, India, circa 1425. The scripture contains verses from Chapter 33, Ya-Sin (Ya-Sin) v63-70 a Meccan Chapter which tells of the punishment coming to disbelievers and of God's power over the deniers.

It is written in a distinctive style of script called Bihari (after the State), characterised by wide, heavy and extended horizontal lines, and thin verticals. In this case there are 15 lines of fine script, with gold 'aya' marking the verses and red diacriticals providing devotional direction. The folio has a single decorative Juz marginal roundels in red, gold and blue marking the 70th verse of the Chapter.

This bi-folio has some minor water staining but is otherwise in very good condition for its age.

Lovely 19th century manuscript miniature that arrived early, and nicely mounted with a bibliographical note. A very fine seller that I return to bid and buy from often. Thank you.

Item as described. Quick dispatch. Good communication. Couldn't be any happier. (Have to pay taxes and customs now - but that was clearly stated, foreseeable and not the sellers fault. Damned Brexit!)

Thanks so much for this feedback. Yes - damned Brexit. All the fault of in-fighting in the UK Govt and a mistaken belief that a vote would make it all go away! It has caused small business and private individuals a good deal of unnecessary trouble.

Exceptional seller, fine manuscript leaves, securely packed and shipped promptly. Much appreciated. Thanks very much.

One of the items arived broken but seller offered me a discount without me asking for it. Nor provide evidence of the broken item. Trustworthy seller.

The art piece came damaged unfortunately. The glass from the front was broken. I recommend the seller to send it with Fan Courier or other high quality postal services. However, I really like it.
