This fine quality manuscript leaf from the Holy book scribed by Abdullah at-Khadim in AD1616. Sadly the central part of the volume was missing otherwise it would have been kept in tact. The format is very typical of a Sultinate India Koran of the early period with expansive headings, large script in fine hand and margins ruled in gold. The Juz (verse marking medallion) in the right margin adds to the attraction of this fine work. Please note that shipping costs are not solely the cost of the postal delivery service itself.
