Calligraphy in Dakhni, folio from an album for Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah.

Some of the sultan's own poetry (beautifully written out by his court calligraphers) is included in the compilation, as well as older examples of fine calligraphy from Iran, and a tinted drawing. There are at least fifteen known folios from this album, which was re-bordered at a late date.
