Bifolium from the Pink Qur’an
A leaf from a Qur'an manuscript, likely made in the Islamic West or Iberia around 1250 and held by the J. Paul Getty Museum, probably written for a religious readership. The picture shows bold black Kufic-style script on warm tan parchment, with gold and blue roundels, a gilded rectangular panel of fine interlace, and a teardrop-shaped ornament, offering a designer ideas for calligraphic hierarchy, framed inscription bands, and restrained gold-and-ink palettes.
