At first I thought (mistakenly) this is the very first page of the mushaf but it is actually the reverse of the page @CellardEleonore shared, with an identical rose on the right and first four verses of al-Baqara on the left. For more details; sakipsabancimuzesi.org/kolek…
One of the masterpieces of the Sakıp Sabancı Museum! A Qur’an copy written in Konstantiniyye (Istanbul) in 1157/1744-45. A very unusual detail: between the Fatiha and Surat al-Baqara, there is one leaf with a drawing of a rose and prayers.

I am really happy that the issue of provenance research is getting some air time in the mainstream media. While I go on and on about provenance and gesture excessively with my hands, you can get a peek at the MFA’s stunning new Dutch galleries. katc.com/news/national/there…

Today #Ethio Tube anounced that looted #Ethiopian church heritages were handed in #Bahirdar. Taking them to Sudan? Part of the Tigray war? It needs further investigation.
