A Late Seljuk Marble Relief Panel with Kufic Inscription, 13th Century.
A rectangular marble relief carved with a central standing figure framed within a recessed panel. The figure appears in a frontal pose, with rounded facial features, short stylised hair, and simplified limbs. Surrounding the central register is an engraved border of linear Kufic script, rendered in tall vertical strokes and angular forms typical of late Seljuk epigraphy. The upper and lower fields display elongated script blocks arranged in a rhythmic pattern, while the sides contain narrower Kufic bands tightly framing the figure.
Approximately 39.5 x 21cm
Provenance: Property from the estate of a distinguished private collector (deceased); assembled between the 1970s and 2024.
