Description
English: Page from an album with the Nad ‛Ali, a prayer to ‛Ali ibn Abi Talib, cut-out in the shape of a lion and signed by ‛Ali.

The signature is something of a pun, as the word ‛Ali must be read twice, once in the invocation ‘O ‛Ali’ and again as the middle word of the signature. The signature probably refers to Mir ‛Ali Haravi. He was a master of puzzles, and the form of the word 'ali with a long tail of ya' extending backwards under the word is typical of his signatures (after Sheila S. Blair, Islamic Calligraphy, 2008, p. 450)
