Yusuf and Zulaykha of Jami 1498 - 1549

This page from a manuscript of Jami's *Yusuf and Zulaykha* (1498-1549), created by Mir 'Ali al-Husaini, features a beautiful and intricate floral border design. The border is rendered in gold on a dark blue background, creating a striking contrast and emphasizing the calligraphy within. The text, in Persian, is neatly organized into four rectangular sections, each with its own decorative frame. This manuscript exemplifies the exquisite artistry of Safavid-era manuscript illumination, combining calligraphy, floral decoration, and gold detailing to create a visually stunning and culturally significant work. The page is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
