Original Recipe Text
While the specific chemical recipe of the ink is not provided, the text notes the calligraphic decorations are 'derived from older Jeli Thuluth from the Arab regions' (p. 304). The inscriptions are applied to specialized timber panels called 'liya fila' (p. 305).
Evidence
"between the roof structure and walls, there would be beams, short posts called thona and timber panels dedicated to calligraphic inscriptions called liya fila."
Remarks
The calligraphic inscriptions are an integral architectural feature of Maldivian mosques, located on panels ('liya fila') placed between the wall and roof structure (p. 305). This tradition is notably present in Malé Hukuru Miskiy (1658), which features calligraphy panels within its lacquered interiors (p. 305, 307).
