The applications of leather in different colours, with representation of geometric patterns, follow the customs and superstitions of the Hausa. The Hausa possessed, in every community, workshops for producing and dyeing articles of leather, though the most out-standing locations are those of Kano and Sokoto in Nigeria; places producing, since the medieval times, the thinnest skins used in Europe. The skins are those of goat, preferably of the males, and the dye receives the local name of *bagaruwa*. This product is usually processed by women, and it is also used for treating dysentery.

The sides of the box are painted with four landscapes of European inspiration, separated by bust-portraits in oval medallions. The red base is painted with vine scrolls in gold. \nThe top of the lid bears a signature and a date, but these appear to have been deliberately defaced. Although the name Muhammad and the word *sana* are what remains now, in the 1970s the signature was read in full by Chahryar Adle as *raqimuhu hajji Muhammad* (‘painted by Hajji Muhammad’) and the date as 1124. \nIn his study of this pen box, Chahryar Adle has suggested that the three couples represent the triumph of mystic love over mere carnality.","type":"Pen box; papier mâché; lacquer-painting","holder":"Khalili Family Trust – Nasser D.

It cannot yet be related to a specific Qur’an manuscript. It is thought that this Qur’an was a gift from the Mamluk Sultan al-Ashraf Sha‘ban II (AH 764–78 / AD 1363–76) to one of his pious foundations. Several handwritten Qur’ans commissioned by this same patron are now kept in the National Library in Cairo. \nThe central area of the binding is framed by a thin border, which encapsulates the ‘Throne verse’, Sura 2 verse 255. The inscriptions sit in long cartouches that alternate with quatrefoil motifs. The inner area’s geometric ornamentation is composed of five stars, each with 12 rays. The design was first embossed with precise stamps and then coloured with gilt and blue pigment. White borders tracing the edges of the stars highlight the geometric design. The large size of this binding probably required the collaboration of a calligrapher and a painter. \nSpecial Qur’an stands (*kursi*) made from expensive materials were designed to support handwritten Qur’ans of this size; they were placed open on the stand for reading out.","short_description":"Appropriately for a leather bookbinding of a Qur’an, an inscription from Sura 2 v.255 was chosen for the border.

Once refired this mixture would fuse to the surface creating elaborate patterned decoration. \n \nThe beaker arrived in Europe from Syria soon after it was made, possibly in the possession of a knight returning from the crusades. A protective leather case was made for it and it was preserved in the country seat of the Musgrave family, Edenhall in north-west England. By the 18th century the beaker had attained a mythic status, where it was thought to have been left behind by a group of revelling fairies. Supposedly, upon being disturbed in their reveries, the fairies placed a charm on the beaker, stating 'If this cup should break or fall, farewell the luck of Edenhall!', giving the beaker its familiar title.","holder":"Victoria & Albert Museum","dates":"13th/14th century","location":"London","dimensions":"Height: 16cm","provenance":"Probably Egypt or Syria","obtention":"Recorded as in the possession of the Musgrave family of Edenhall, Cumberland from the 18th century, but it may have been with them for a number of centuries beforehand.

Made in a 16th-century Persian court workshop, the binding demonstrates the immense importance of book art in Islamic cultures. The lacquer paintings on leather depict a paradisal landscape: bird fly amongst the clouds in the sky and sit in the tree and surrounding bushes. A cheetah fights another animal to the left, a tiger battles a deer on the right, and two dragons duel beneath the tree. \nMythic and fantastical animals such as the phoenix, qilin, and dragons, along with the clouds and cranes in the sky, reveal the Chinese influence on this artwork. The lacquer painting technique also originated in China. Lacquer book binding, however, is a Persian invention from late 15th-century Iran where illumination and book bindery merge, turning the protective cover into a work of pictorial art. The fighting animals are a pre-Islamic motif, which can indicate Paradise.

Moreover, during the 4th and 5th centuries (10th and 11th) Ifriqiya was a great centre of book production, exporting to Egypt, Syria and Spain.

The upper section features a depiction of a Mevlevi dervish's headdress on a pedestal, while the lower section has a tree in a flowerpot. The craftsman included the headdress of the Mevlevi order, of which he was a member. The burnishing tool (*mühre*) is made of glass. It is large enough to fill the palm of one's hand. The cutting edge of the knife (*kalemtraş*) is of metal, while the handle, made of bone, terminates in the motif of a hand with its fingers closed. The scissors (*makas*) are made of iron. The entire surface is decorated with vegetal motifs inlaid with gold. The handle of the scissors is in the form of two facing inscriptions reading 'Ya Fattah' ('O He Who opens!'), one of the 99 Names of God meaning 'God is the opener of all doors'. The case (*kubur*) is cylindrical and made of thick cardboard with black leather stretched over it. In the base there is a brass inkwell. The outer surface of the case is decorated in the naturalistic Turkish Baroque-Rococo style with spiralling branches and flowers in various colours and gilding executed in a lacquer technique known as *Edirnekari* .The case was made by Ali Üsküdari; its distinguishing characteristic is that it contains a reservoir for ink. \n \nCalligraphy is one of the greatest fields in which Islamic art has expressed itself. The Ottoman sultans in particular took lessons in calligraphy and created their own examples. Among the sultans proficient in the art of calligraphy might be counted Ahmed III, Mustafa II, Mahmud II and Abdülmecid I. \n \nThe calligrapher would use these tools thus: he cut the paper he was going to use with scissors, and applied a finish to the paper to make it shine, this he did with the burnishing tool; the paper was then placed in the case to protect it. He took his bamboo-reed pen and placed it on the pen-cutting slab; he then trimmed it to the desired thickness with the knife. Then he wrote with his calligraphic pen, using the ink he kept in the inkwell. All these tools were kept as a group in a writing box. Calligrapher's tools themselves became works of art, decorated according to the taste of the age in which they were made. Symbolic images often embellished writing tools, as is seen on the pen-cutting slab from this ensemble, reflecting the dervish order to which the calligrapher belonged.","short_description":"As the art of calligraphy continued to flourish, the tools and implements used for its creation became works of art themselves.

Entre los sultanes expertos en este arte cabe destacar a Ahmed III, Mustafa II, Mahmud II y Abdülmecid I. \nEl calígrafo usaba estos instrumentos de la siguiente forma: con las tijeras, cortaba el papel que iba a usar y le daba lustre con el bruñidor; luego lo guardaba en el estuche para protegerlo. Después, colocaba la pluma de caña de bambú sobre la tablilla, donde la tajaba con el cortaplumas hasta conseguir el grosor deseado. Finalmente escribía con la pluma usando la tinta almacenada en el tintero. Todos estos instrumentos, que se guardaban juntos en escribanías, llegaron a ser obras de arte en sí mismas, decoradas según gustos y épocas. A menudo se adornaban con imágenes simbólicas, como puede observarse en los adornos de la tablilla, que dejan patente la orden derviche a la que pertenecía el calígrafo.","short_description":"A medida que el arte de la caligrafía florecía, los útiles y accesorios de escritura se convirtieron en obras de arte en sí mismos.

Le polissoir (*mühre*) en verre est de taille suffisante pour tenir aisément dans la paume de la main. La lame du couteau (*kalemtraş*) est en fer, sa poignée en os se termine par un motif de main aux doigts refermés. Les ciseaux (*makas*) sont en fer décoré sur toute la surface de motifs végétaux incrustés d'or. Leur poignée comporte deux inscriptions face à face se lisant : “Ya Fattah” (À celui qui ouvre!” – l'un des 99 noms de Dieu signifiant “Dieu est celui qui ouvre toutes les âmes”). L'étui (*kubur*) cylindrique est en carton fort gainé de cuir. Sa base renferme un encrier qui fait toute son originalité. La surface extérieure est ornée en style naturaliste turc baroque-rococo de branches en spirales, de fleurs de couleurs variées et de dorures appliquées à la laque selon une technique appelée *Edirnekari*. Il a été fabriqué par Ali Üsküdari. \nLa calligraphie est l'un des grands domaines dans lequel l'art islamique a exprimé toute sa personnalité. Les sultans ottomans, en particulier, apprenaient la calligraphie et écrivaient leurs propres textes. Parmi les sultans habiles dans cet art figurent Ahmed III, Moustafa II, Mahmoud II et Abdülcemid Ier. \nLe calligraphe se servait de ces outils de la façon suivante. Il découpait le papier avec les ciseaux et appliquait une couche de finition pour le faire briller au polissoir. Le papier était ensuite roulé et placé dans l'étui pour y être protégé. La plume de roseau était appuyée sur une plaquette et taillée à l'épaisseur souhaitée avec le couteau. Puis commençait l'écriture à l'aide d'encre contenue dans un encrier. Tous ces outils étaient conservés dans un écritoire. Ils devinrent parfois de véritables œuvres d'art, décorés dans le style du temps et d'images symboliques comme sur la plaquette présentée ici, qui rappelle l'ordre de derviches auquel appartenait le calligraphe.","short_description":"Comme l’art de la calligraphie continuait à se développer, les outils et les instruments utilisés pour sa réalisation devinrent en eux-mêmes des œuvres d’art.

Makta üzerine koyduğu bambu kamış kalemini kalemtraşla istediği kalınlıkta inceltmiş, bu kalemle yazısını yazmış, mürekkebini hokkada saklamıştır. Hat sanatını icra etmek için kullandığı tüm bu aletleri yazı çekmecelerinde bir arada korumuştur. Tüm bu aletler yapıldıkları dönemin beğenisine uygun üslupta, kimi zaman tarikatlarını da yansıtan simgelerle bezenmiştir.","short_description":"Hat sanatı kendi kuralları içinde ürünler verirken, onun yaratılmasını sağlayan araç ve gereçler de birer sanat eserine dönüşmüştür.
