Leaf with Arabic Prayers 1689 - 1739

This 18th century work by Ahmad Nairizi is an example of Islamic calligraphy and illumination. The artwork features a central panel with intricately written Arabic prayers in gold script on a brown background. The panel is framed with multiple borders decorated with floral motifs, which are also rendered in gold on a white background. These borders demonstrate the artistry and detail that were valued in Islamic manuscript traditions, making it a beautiful work of art.
