Page from a copy of the Qur'an late 14th/early 15th century

This page from a copy of the Qur'an is a striking example of Islamic calligraphy, dating back to the late 14th or early 15th century. The anonymous artist employed a masterful hand in creating the intricate script, which is beautifully framed by a border of intricate floral motifs and geometric patterns in vibrant blue, gold, and red hues. The page, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistic excellence and spiritual devotion that characterized Islamic art during this period.
