brown ink

Ingredients

brown ink

Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

Described as a practice-sheet (siyah-i mashq) executed by Muhammad Yahya, specifically noted for 'trying out new ink' (p. 80).

Evidence

"Text (in nasta‘lĩq) written in brown ink on buff paper."

Remarks

The script features a repetitive deployment of the letter nun. The use of brown ink instead of traditional black carbon ink is explicitly identified as an experiment with new materials by the calligrapher (p. 80).
