Remarks
The pigment was utilized specifically to execute Arabic calligraphy on ceramic supports within the exhibition 'Emerging Islamic Studio Ceramics: Inspired by Alhambra' (p. 211). The artist noted that the calligraphy was intended for visual aesthetic appreciation, even for non-Arabic speakers, though translations were provided via QR codes to increase accessibility (p. 222).
