Fiziksel açıklama
Two rectangular wooden panels carved with a horizontal composition of Quranic inscriptions written in the thuluth script. Each panel is inscribed with a different verse from Chapter 83 of the Quran: verse 25 âyasqun min rahiq makhtumâ (They will be given to drink [pure] wine [which was] sealed); and verse 26 âKhitamuhu misk wa fi zalika falyatanafas al-mutanafisunâ (The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete).
