Manuscript2988/1

Qur'an leaf, in Kufic script on vellum. The script is in dark brown ink on parchment, with seven lines per page. The vocalization is rendered in red dots, and single verse divisions are marked with triangular clusters of six gold discs. Fifth verse divisions are marked with a solidly coloured Kufic letter ha in gold (representing the number 5 in the abjad system), outlined in black. Tenth verse divisions are marked with an illuminated cusped roundel formed by interlacing gold and white bands decorated with elegant scrolls and dots containing the exact verse count – in this case thalathun (thirty) – on gold Kufic script on a reserved central space.
