Remarks

This entry records the use of gold as a pigment/medium for monumental calligraphic inscriptions on marble. The text specifies that a poem was written 'with gold on marble' (بالذهب على الرخام) at the door of the shrine of Sayyida Nafisa in Cairo, dated to approximately 1182 AH (p. 578). This highlights the architectural application of metallic pigments in religious contexts.
