Lantern of Flowing Script

A hand-drawn decorative composition presents an ornate, vessel-like form crowned with sweeping Arabic calligraphy and edged with curling flourishes. Floral motifs fill the narrow central section, while broad bands of turquoise, gold, violet, and blue create a rounded, lantern-like body beneath. The visible pencil texture, outlined contours, and carefully repeated ornament give the piece the character of a vibrant folk-art design on paper.
