Tazhib

Tazhib is an Islamic art technique that involves applying thin, gold or silver leaf onto decorated surfaces, such as manuscripts, calligraphy, and architectural elements. This decorative process enhances the visual appeal by adding a luminous, reflective quality, emphasizing important sections or texts. Tazhib requires meticulous craftsmanship and precision, often used to highlight sacred or significant content in religious and artistic works. It is a traditional form of embellishment that combines artistry with spiritual symbolism, reflecting the value and reverence attributed to the decorated object.
