An artist from Azerbaijan has transcribed the Quran on silk. The whole project took her three years to complete.
According to Daily Sabah, 33-year-old Tünzale Memmedzade, a painter and decorative artist, used 50 meters of transparent black silk and 1,500 milliliters of gold and silver inks in the project.
She transcribed the Quran on silk sheets each measuring 29 x 33 cm.
The Quran had been transcribed onto various materials but never onto silk before, and this was her driving motivation for the project, the website quoted Memmedzade. She also noted that it does not infringe on religious law since silk is a material referred to in the Quran.
She studied art history at the Marmara University in Turkey.
