Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – We arrived at the Hazrati complex during renovation. The vast majority of the mosque and madrasa were restricted from visiting. The tiny museum, adjacent to the mosque holds a beautiful kufic script quran. Printed on skin, not paper it is one of the earliest replications of the original mushaf dating as far back as the 7th century. While I can't read any of the scripts, it reignited my love of calligraphy.
