Original Recipe Text
The palette for JMA.PDN.886.2002.A1 includes blue, black, red, white, and gold (p. 18). Illuminations consist of 'floral and geometry patterns' (p. 19, Figure 22). Unlike Terengganu Qurans, these Javanese illuminations are described as 'less lavishly decorated and simpler' (p. 17).
Evidence
"This JMA.PDN.886.2002.A1 manuscript also has a similar design on all of the illuminated pages with blue, black, red, white and gold colours."
Remarks
Illuminated pages are located at the beginning and end of the manuscript, but notably lack illumination at the start of Surah Al-Kahf in the center, which is found in some other Javanese Qurans (p. 18). The gold is used sparingly compared to the MSN32.1992 manuscript.
