A notable example of late Safavid manuscript tradition, this Qur'an reflects the period's refined calligraphy and illumination practices. Rendered on paper, each folio features 14 lines of elegant black naskh script, harmoniously accompanied by a Persian interlinear translation in delicate red naskh. The pages are framed by intricately detailed geometric and floral illuminations in rich hues of gold, lapis, and crimson—an opulent interplay that highlights the Safavid era’s deep reverence for both the divine word and artistic beauty.
