This image features a marble fragment with an engraved Arabic Thuluth calligraphy inscription, set against a black background for emphasis. The inscription is spread across two rectangular marble stones that are attached to each other, and a visible separation line divides the two pieces. The engraved calligraphy is an example of the Arabic Thuluth script, known for its elegant, flowing curves and elaborate design, commonly used in Islamic art and architecture. The inscription is a verse from the Quran, translated as "And We made from water every living thing," emphasizing the significance of water in the creation of life. The style and form of the calligraphy suggest it is from the Ottoman period, with the script exhibiting the characteristic grace and artistic detail typical of that era. The fragment is historically significant, originating from the Old City of Jerusalem, a place with deep cultural and religious heritage. The marble's surface shows signs of aging, with minor wear and texture that highlight its historical nature. The intricate calligraphy contrasts with the smooth stone, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship involved in the engraving process.
