Islamic manuscript
Post-60s gouache over 19th century text
Gilded professional frame
35x24 cmThis piece combines a genuine antique Islamic legal treatise (Fiqh) with later artistic embellishment. The underlying manuscript, written in loose Naskh script, debates the complex mechanics of Bay' al-Fuduli (unauthorized transactions in Islam).The paper and script likely date from the 19th century, displaying authentic, natural aging. The miniature painting is a modern addition, a common practice from the 60s onward in workshops in isfahan as the country opened up for tourism.
