Arabic calligraphy. This remarkable calligraphy is an extraordinary blend of Chinese and Islamic styles, and was produced with a brush. In the rest of the Islamic world, calligraphy is written with a pen. The word ya (oh) is written vertically with rahim (compassionate), horizontally. This is one of 'the beautiful names of God'. The signature inscription translates as 'written by Abd (the servant) Yusha' whose name is present in the Arabic seal. The Chinese seal is at present unread. Inv. AC 2002,0729,0.1.
