In a funky improvised calligraphy the Shahadah is written in the center of this piece. Henna design is drawn on its right and wavy pattern on its left.

This work is the inspiration of a poem by a young Bedouin woman called Juml.  She lived in the the 9th century Iraq as a concubine to the poet Idris Ibn Abi Hafsah who was a great deal her senior.  Earth ware plates and illustrations on the  Maqamat Al-Hamathani and Maqamat Al-Harir from 9th-11the centuries were the influence of the aesthetics of this print.
