یادداشتها
This square shaped panel is most likely one of two similarly shaped and decorated wooden panels that would have been used in the upper portion of a folding Quran stand (rahle) similar to that in the V&A collection (880-1889). This panel would have been inserted into a wooden frame that also included the Quran legs, which were most either decorated with a similar open work pattern or painted with various polychrome patterns. This open work carving technique was typical of later Qajar woodwork, and most likely came from the town of Abadeh (between Isfahan and Shiraz), which was renowned at the time for its finely carved wooden objects, made of either pear or lime wood, and often carved with a common pocket-knife.

Fiziksel açıklama
Square shaped panel carved from a single piece of wood in an openwork pattern. Each of the four outer panels is decorated with a stylised Persian inscription, with each letter accented by a painted white dot. Two concentric squares appear in the centre decorated with pierced flowers and diamonds, each painted with a small white dot.
