"Unwan from the Shah Jahan Album," a 16th-century Persian artwork attributed to Mir 'Ali Haravi, is a striking example of Islamic calligraphy and illumination. The intricate design, with a central panel of flowing script framed by geometric patterns and floral motifs, showcases the artistic mastery of the Safavid era. This illuminated manuscript page, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the artistic influence of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who reigned during a period of significant cultural and artistic flourishing in Persia.
