About the work
This artwork utilizes a circular composition with a heavy focus on gold leaf and intricate floral patterns (islimi). A large, sweeping white script overlaps a golden arc, set against a background of black and white ornamental designs. The Verse: The large script represents the word "Huwa" (He), often used in Sufi traditions to refer to the Divine Essence. It is a contemplative shorthand for the presence of God that exists beyond names and descriptions.
Tradition and subject
This is an oil painting on canvas, painted by a Pakistani artist. The subject is islamic centric and intended to serve as a reminder to recite the script for protection. The art is valued as a meaningful reminder, not as an object with independent spiritual power.
Care
Gently dust with a soft, dry brush and display in a dry, shaded spot away from moisture and chemicals.
