The Arabesque® Imperial Fatimid-Style Medieval Egyptian Bismillah Wallhanging in Arabic Kufic Script with Medieval Islamic Arabesque Border
$100.00
Kufic is the popular word attributed to angular Arabic script which dominated medieval Islamic art and architecture from the beginning of the 8th to the end of the 12th century until it slowly began to be replaced with more rounded forms of Arabic script. The Fatimids were an Islamic dynasty in Egypt and North Africa and ruled parts of North Africa, the Mediterranean, Egypt, and the Levant and Arabian peninsula between 909 - 1171. Among creating several unique forms of expression within the vocabulary of medieval Islamic art, they are known for the beautiful floriated Kufic inscriptions that covered their art and architecture. This "Bismillah" wooden wall plaque, is an example of prime imperial Fatimid angular Arabic script (Kufic) accompanied by arabesque ornament which we took from architecture and textile fabric design from the Fatimid period. This artwork has been laser-etched, custom painted with brilliant gold leaf paint, and embellished to create a beautiful eye-catching historically-rich work of art for your favorite space in your home or office.

Stunningly Beautiful. The Bismillah Wall Hanging was beyond what I had imagined it to be. This was a Mother’s Day Gift for my wife from me. She was very touched and happy. Thank You Arabesque for creating such beautiful historical art. Also, Thank You Tasneem Bhen for your accompanying notes. Much Appreciated. Abizar
