Volker Riepenhausen

A stunning bi-folio on burnished paper from a book of prayers originating from Turkiye in the MidC18th.  The left folio has an illuminated gold band decoration with floral end pieces, followed by 12 lines of fine elegant nashki script in black ink. the right folio contains 13 lines scripture in the same elegant nashki. The multiple verses are marked by vivid gold aya with a black central dot and 4 circumference markings. 

The prayers in these two folios call upon God and the Prophet Muhammad (The Master and the Messenger of the Lord) to provide guidance  to the state of goodness by following the commands of the Prophet, through the laws of Shari'ah and the guidance of Muhammad in acts of obedience, contemplation and humility towards the poor and needy.
