verso, During the 2007 small object inventory there was some confusion between this object, 21.1, and the object now in embark as 21.2.
After exhaustive research, the following information was gathered:
Each of these two tiles were found with the numbers now given to them painted on their verso in red paint. Yet, according to the log book and catalog cards, these two tiles were characterized as both being "Glazed pottery with over glazed painting. Decorated with a design of birds and flowers in blue and black. Dug up on site of a private bath in Hamadan, 1918." While this description matches the tile found painted and now considered 21.2, it does not match the tile found painted and now considered 21.1. To further confuse matters, the log book and catalog cards both mention that the tile 21.1 was broken. In 2007, only 21.2 was found to be broken (upper left corner). In addition, the dimensions documented in the log book and catalog cards for both objects are incorrect, but incorrect to a greater degree for the tile painted and now considered 21.1.
One possible hypothesis is that the original tile accessioned into the collection as 21.1 was either lost or completely destroyed at one point, and the tile found numbered and now considered 21.1 was "found in collection" and took the place of 21.1. Whether this decision was made knowingly or out of ignorance is unclear.
Another possible hypothesis that the the tile found numbered and now considered 21.2 was originally 21.1 (which may account for the description of the tile that entered the collection as 21.1 being "broken") and the tile that entered the collection as 21.2 was lost or destroyed at one point. The tile found numbered and now considered 21.1 was "found in collection" and mistakenly took the place of 21.1 and the tile that entered the collection as 21.1 was mistakenly numbered as 21.2.
A true mystery indeed.
Conclusion: In order to reduce confusion in the future when working with the objects in storage, the numbers painted on the verso of each tile in red remain and those designations now define their identity. Although this may not be as they were entered into the collection, the tile painted 21.1 is now considered 21.1 and the tile painted 21.2 is now considered 21.2. At the present time, it is impossible to prove otherwise.
See the object files for more information.

Whether this decision was made knowingly or out of ignorance is unclear.
Another possible hypothesis that the the tile found numbered and now considered 21.2 was originally 21.1 (which may account for the description of the tile that entered the collection as 21.1 being "broken") and the tile that entered the collection as 21.2 was lost or destroyed at one point. The tile found numbered and now considered 21.1 was "found in collection" and mistakenly took the place of 21.1 and the tile that entered the collection as 21.1 was mistakenly numbered as 21.2.
A true mystery indeed.
Conclusion: In order to reduce confusion in the future when working with the objects in storage, the numbers painted on the verso of each tile in red remain and those designations now define their identity. Although this may not be as they were entered into the collection, the tile painted 21.1 is now considered 21.1 and the tile painted 21.2 is now considered 21.2. At the present time, it is impossible to prove otherwise.

Manuscript
The large Arabic script and the Arabic in the “cloud” shapes are verses from the poet Umar Ibn al-Farid’s Wine Ode, the most famous mystical poem on wine in Arabic. Ibn al-Farid (1181-1235), who studied Islamic mysticism and Arabic literature in Cairo and Mecca, composed poems that generally embrace a view of existence in which creation is lovingly intimate with its divine creator. This richly decorated leaf, made in the 1600s, reflects the continued popularity of al-Farid’s poem.
[Gallery label text, 2009]
, Translated by Emil Homerin. Passage in larger lettering is verses 16-21 of Umar Ibn al-Farid's "al-Khamriyah" or "Wine Ode," the most famous mystical poem on wine in Arabic and Islam. The smaller letters at the right are verses 6-16 of Ibn al-Farid's "Al-Daliyah," "Ode Rhyming in D," a mystical poem. The red text is a Persian version of the poem.

endpapers, Galvani ran the paper mill from 1836; terminal date for his mark unknown. His paper must have been distributed to the East, as it can be seen on other Islamic manuscripts, including one at Princeton., Dealer's stamp? If 1340 is Persian calendar, this would translate to date of 1961, but that is not possible as book was already at MAG then. If it's the Islamic calendar, date would = 1922

This fragment of a calligraphic architectural frieze is characteristic of North Indian Islamic monumental architecture during the later Sultanate period (1206-1526). The inscription on this fragment, “To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on earth. No one may intercede…” is from Surah (chapter) 2:255 of the Qur’an. This verse, called the “Throne Verse,” was frequently used for architectural inscriptions in mosque complexes and tombs. The entire inscription would have been carved in sandstone on high friezes around the interior walls.
"God. There is no deity but Him, the living, the eternal!
Drowsiness does not overtake Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs
what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. No one may
intercede with Him save by His permission. He knows what is
before them, and what is behind them, yet they comprehend
nothing of His knowledge, save as He wills. His throne
encompasses the heavens and the earth, and He does not weary
of preserving them. He is the sublime, the magnificent!”
