Lapis, gold and bronze have been used to recreate delicate 15th and 16th century patterns, and a solution made from the dried seeds of ispaghula, or psyllium, has been used to stop the ink spreading across 305 metres of fabric. The Quran has been completed as part of the Turquoise Mountain Trust project supported by the Fund in Afghanistan. Turquoise Mountain began work in Kabul with the aim of preserving ancient Afghan craftsmanship, including ceramics, carpentry and calligraphy.
