A fine bi-folio of Indian prayers on burnished paper dating C1815. Written in naskh in black ink, the illuminated pages have deep, multi-banded, floral borders with well preserved colouring. The script consists of 8 lines on each folio, separated by gold interlinear bands. A header within a faded gold cartouche divides the script in the right hand folio. The verses are marked by simple gold aya and text has a few diacritical markings in red for devotees to follow.

There is some staining to the scripture, probably water damage, although the script is still clear to read.

With our pleasure. Thank you for your purchase.

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.

Was very satisfied until I found out that the manuscripts are held to the mount by adhesive tape impossible to remove without damaging the manuscripts. Who the hell puts tape on old manuscripts?!

We do show the mounting in the photographs that are provided for the auction. The tape we use is acid-free mounting tape and placed on the outer margins of the manuscripts on the reverse side.

Carefully packed, arrived in best condition

Thank you for this review. We are delighted you are satisfied. Kind regards.

Arrived very well packaged and padded. Go easy perhaps on the protective tape over the glass. It's the wrong type of tape. I can't remove it to see the painting !! But thanks all the same Rob

Glad it arrived safely but disappointed the tape is proving difficult to remove. I hadn't realised we had taped the glass. Will you be able to resolve?
