gold
Evidence
"Gold paint is used for the ruled lines that frame the text, as well as for the outlines of the architecture and for the monumental inscriptions set between the images of religious sites."
Remarks
Gold is used selectively in the first component (Mecca and Medina) but is notably absent from the second component of the scroll, highlighting a change in production style or workshop (p. 373).
