A gold sprinkled bi-folio from al-Jazuli's Dala'il al-Khayrat (Indian Book of Prayers), one of the most popular devotional payer books of Islam. Written in nasta'liq, with Persian commentary in red between the lines of script, it consists of two leafs of 9 lines of scripture, with a 'Surah' in gold leaf as line 4 of the right folio. Both scriptures are framed by multi-linear marking in various colours, outside of which is a generous floral border of repeated patterns with a single frame line to complete the folios. The scripture is folded within gold clouds, with a single aya in gold in line 3 of the left folio and two aya on the right folio in lines 3 and 9. This is a pleasing bi-folio over 250 years old. It is hinged verso with photographic hinges and with archival paper repair tape keeping the sides steady. These can be easily removed for reframing/mounting as required.
