A CEREMONIAL MOTHER OF PEARL CASKET AND QURAN, 20TH CENTURY
The box is designed to hold a rare copy of the Quran, dating to 1350 AH (1930 CE), as indicated by the certification page. The Quran features rich, gold-embellished script.
The box is richly decorated, featuring Arabic calligraphy and delicate floral designs, centred by a raised depiction of the Dome of the Rock on its lid. The fine details suggest that it may have been created as a ceremonial gift. The interior of the box is lined with rich red velvet, providing both protection and an elegant presentation for the Quran it houses.
Dimensions: 43cm x 33cm
Provenance: Christies London, 10 October 2014, lot 319
