Islamic Calligraphy — Design 09

Five tall strokes rise like minarets from the sweeping curves of this Bismillah wall piece, an arresting interpretation of Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem cut from wood in deep black. The dramatic verticality draws the eye upward, giving the calligraphy a sense of aspiration and reverence that anchors a majlis, entryway or living-room wall. A golden finish is available for interiors that favour warmth.
