Iraq: Leaf from a Qur'an in Kufic script dated between 1350 and 1400.

This leaf is written in an elegant Muhaqqaq script, the black letters contoured in gold. The calligraphy resembles that of magnificent Il-Khanid Qur'ans, but the verse markers indicate a slightly later dating, under the Jalayirids.
