Animal Calligraphy.

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts on June 21, 2006 at 11:55 am


In this intricate artform, readable arabic scripts into amazing animal figures. The practice is not new – it dates back to as early as 1458.

This particular one above was made by Hassan Musa, a Sudanese calligrapher.

    It's a pity that pictures of animate beings are haraam.
