Hello.Not a weapon, but an interesting old manuscript roll which is 7 mts long full with very small lines of Arabic writing and hand painted,bordered with gold decoration-"tezhip" at both edges of the roll. A holy Quran of a special kind or a prayer book or what? I request help in understanding what it is.
regards |

Hello Erlikhan,
This is a Quran but it looks to be written unproffessionally. There are numerous scribal/grammar errors. I will show it to a proffessional and get back to you. |

Hello Erlikhan,
Bad news; I contacted the expert (he specialize in collecting old manuscripts) and he told me that this Quran is a fake ![]() He said that the Illumination is 100% fake, The writing is also recent. |
