This is my first Quran acquired from Yemen. It is incomplete as the first surah Al Fatihah and last few pages missing. The Quran was written in a simple Naskh calligraphy. This Quran has no proper colophone however there is a scribble on the back cover with what appear as year 975 AH ( 1567CE).
I couldn't help to notice that this Quran has a strange drawing on the margin as in picture below. Is this a Talisman?
