This horizontal-format manuscript on parchment is an illuminated fragment of the Qur'an, containing portions of chapters 4 (SÅ«rat al-nisÄʾ), 6 (SÅ«rat al-anÊ¿Äm), 7 (SÅ«rat al-aÊ¿rÄf), and 10 (SÅ«rat YÅ«nus). The fragment probably dates to the third century AH / ninth CE. The text is written in an Early Abbasid (Kufic) script in dark brown ink and vocalized with red and green dots. Verse markers in the shape of a stylized letter hÄ' and rosettes indicate groups of five and ten verses. The text is framed by later red, blue, and gold framing lines and a polychrome and gold floral border. The black blind-tooled leather binding with central lobed, pointed oval and pendants is attributable to the thirteenth century AH / nineteenth CE.
