Hawzah News Agency- Museum officer Nik Ilham Nik Yusup said the museum's oldest artefact was produced with exceptional craftsmanship using hundreds of processed animal skins to create durable sheets for Quranic writing.
"All the basic materials were specially sourced from Hadhramaut in Yemen'', he told Bernama recently.
Written entirely by hand in ancient Kufi script, the manuscript used organic carbon ink produced from natural sources.
According to him, the manuscript was preserved in Indonesia for over 500 years before being brought to Narathiwat about five years ago during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"To ensure this invaluable heritage of Islamic civilisation continues to be preserved, strict security procedures are implemented and visitors are not allowed to touch the artefact'', he said.
