Note on the cover image:
This nineteenth century wooden gerobok from the collection of the Islamic Arts Museum, Malaysia, was likely crafted in Java, and designed to hold dowry items for a bride’s new home. The chest is adorned with the 20 Attributes of Allah (Sifat Dua Puluh), a motif popular in the Malay world, with roundels inscribed with Allah, Muhammad, Ya Rahim, and Ya Rahman. The Arabic calligraphy on the chest, including the Basmallah, is in the diwani script. Originating from the Indian Subcontinent, its design also reflects the influence of Dutch aesthetics. © Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia
