Spain/ Maghreb: A page from a Qur’an depicting the conclusion of Sura X and the beginning of Sura XI separated by an illuminated chapter heading written in Andalusian Kufic script.

With the exception of the banner heading, then text is written in Maghribi hand, probably in the 13th century in Grenada, the last bastion of Islam in Spain.
