Quran

On the day before we left Riyadh for good, we were provided with a driver to take us wherever we wanted to go. One place was the National Museum of Saudi Arabia for a final visit.

Of course, no exhibit on the Hajj would be complete without a copy of the Quran, and I thought this was a particularly beautiful one.

It is indeed a striking Quran, Helen. Lovely work, both in the book and in the taking of the photo. Vote.

It is exceptionally beautiful. Imagine the work that went into this... I assume it is all hand painted? V

A book that's been created with loving hands - nicely captured V

mysticism and art seem well blended in this apparently ancient volume...surprisingly small text per page..
