Seal - Islamic manuscript,

Set of 3 Islamic manuscripts on agate and jade, dating from the 19th and 20th centuries.

The three stones bear Quranic texts executed by master calligraphers from the Ottoman, Qajar, and Pahlavi worlds.

Calligraphy on agate and jade is particularly difficult to execute due to the hardness and surface of these stones.

An original and interesting ensemble for collectors of calligraphy and Islamic art.
