This exquisite 19th-century folio from an Ottoman Quran, originating from Ottoman Turkey, is a fine example of Islamic art and religious calligraphy. The folio features Surah Al-Hajj (Quran XXII) with Verses 25-34 and showcases 13 lines of black naskh script, meticulously handwritten on burnished paper. The text is beautifully set within gold clouds, with elegant gold roundels marking each verse and framed within a rich black and blue-ruled gold border. Marginal medallions in gold and polychrome accentuate the folio's elegance, adding to the artistry of this historical piece.

The verses contain profound messages, including the command to Abraham regarding the Ka'bah and the importance of pure devotion to Allah. This folio's intricate details, such as red punctuation, foliage border, and delicate marginal decorations, make it a valuable piece for any collector or enthusiast of Islamic manuscripts.
