This is an incomplete text from the Holy Quran, (7th Century C.E.) inscribed by Hazrat Ali, the fourth Caliph of Islam. It is on parchment (un-tanned animal skin) and seems to have been restored with a 16th century paper bearing Persian inscriptions. It is a rare specimen of both text and calligraphy.
