About the Item
Salla Alla Muhammad An-Nabi - Arabic Calligraphy is a beautiful and precious manuscript with Islamic Sacred Verses in an ancient calligraphy style.
One page, one-sided, in Arabic, the original sheet (cm 17 x 11) is in excellent condition, under plexiglass, with an ivory passe-partout, framed with an ebony frame (cm 34.5 x 2.3 x 28.5).
The script is in black ink with some words in red ink.
In the top of the sheet and the right side there are small words hard to read. In the right margin and in the central area of the manuscript the main script is written in bigger words. On the right side of the sheet, all the small words are written contrariwise, from down to up.
The balance between these small words written from down to up, with the main bigger script and less words written from up to down, makes this piece of art unique. In the left side also we see the bent small words which are harmonized with the other two forms of the scripts.
The words in red ink of script are written in distinctive color to emphasis on the importance and the holiness of them, these words are:
“Allah”, “Muhammad the Prophet”, “Sal Allah”, which means “Peace of God be upon Him ( Muhammad) and his family”. The last one is a famous praying phrase in the Islamic world, that just the two first words of this phrase are written in red ink.
This proper original manuscript represents the extraordinary beauty, sobriety and simplicity which in Islamic culture has a deep root. It is a remarkable artwork for who search for simplicity and dignified through art.
The traditional instrument of the Islamic calligrapher is the Qalam, a pen normally made of dried reed or bamboo. The ink is often in color and chosen so that its intensity can vary greatly, creating dynamism and movement in the letterforms. Some styles are often written using a metallic-tip pen. For centuries, the art of writing has fulfilled a central iconographic function in Islamic art.
As Islamic calligraphy is highly venerated, most works follow examples set by well established calligraphers, In the Islamic tradition, calligraphers underwent extensive training, including the study of their teacher's models, in order to be granted certification.
