| Not | Calligraphy in Arabic, Persian and Dakhni, folio from an album for Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah. This folio was once part of a calligraphic poetry album, produced for Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, who ruled the Deccani sultanate of Golconda. Some of the sultan's own poetry (beautifully written out by his court calligraphers) is included in the compilation, as well as older examples of fine calligraphy from Iran, and a tinted drawing. There are at least fifteen known folios from this album, which was re-bordered at a late date. Album-page, ink, gold and colours on paper, mounted on card, Arabic and Persian prayers and invocations, signed Muhammad Reza, Hyderabad, undated (recto), and Dakhni verses about the Prophet Muhammad's birthday, signed Zayn al-Din `Ali, undated (verso), folio from an album compiled for Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah (r. 1580-1612), Golconda, Deccan, India, c. 1600. |
