A remarkable artefact is a folio from the Fatimid era Qur'an, featuring double-sided calligraphy with 11 lines of text. Originating from 13th to 14th century Egypt, this piece measures 45x32 cm. Its beautifully crafted script and historical significance make it a valuable testament to the rich tradition of Qur'anic manuscript artistry during the Fatimid period in Egypt. This folio provides a glimpse into the art, culture, and religious heritage of the time.
