Record ID	object;EPM;qt;Mus22;26;ar
Library Location	Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani Museum

Notes	This Quranic position elevates the large scriptures to prevent direct contact with the unclean surface of the Earth. The India-made wooden structure features deep floral carvings. Mughal carvings with rows of flowers and vines adorn the Quran platform with geometric precision. While Islamic woodwork in India is still not widely studied, the lobed arches for the legs are reminiscent of Mughal architecture. Moreover, the woodwork of the Mughal Empire rarely bears inscriptions, which hampers accurate dating and study of the collections of pieces. These still stand as the cradle of Qur’ans in stately homes, mosques, Islamic schools (madrassas) and in tombs for purposes of recitation and display.
