A 19TH-CENTURY PERSIAN ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT OF MASNAVI BY RUMI
A 19th-century Persian manuscript is a beautifully illuminated copy of the Masnavi, the renowned Sufi poetic masterpiece by Jalal al-Din Rumi. Bound in a fine hardcover, the manuscript features intricately hand-written Persian calligraphy, with sections elegantly adorned in gold and floral motifs. The text is divided into multiple columns per page, a format typical of classical Persian poetry manuscripts.
