- The Arabic calligraphy is written in the Chinese "one-stroke" style (yi-bi shufa) that employs a wide, multi-toothed writing implement. The wide sheet of paper has been bordered with brown damask. The sweeping script is highly stylized, and the Arabic phrase has been slightly telescoped for visual effect.
