About this work

This page shows a dense block of Arabic script in black ink on a light, slightly textured paper. The writing fills most of the space, with a clean border framing the top and sides. On the right edge, a vertical strip of beige stone or rock is drawn in, breaking the edge of the page. The script looks carefully arranged, with some lines slightly darker than others. The stone detail adds a small but odd contrast to the otherwise uniform page. Check out the Baroque movement for more art with dramatic details like this.
