Detail of the Calligraphic Galleon with the Names of the 7 Sleepers in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, August 2019
Calligraphic Galleon
dated A.H. 1180/ A.D. 1766–67
Object Details
Title: Calligraphic Galleon
Calligrapher: 'Abd al-Qadir Hisari
Date: dated A.H. 1180/ A.D. 1766–67
Geography: Made in Turkey
Medium: Ink and gold on paper
Dimensions: H. 19 in. (48.3 cm)
W. 17 in. (43.2 cm)
Classification: Codices
Credit Line: Louis E. and Theresa S. Seley Purchase Fund for Islamic Art and Rogers Fund, 2003

The hull of this sailing ship comprises the names of the Seven Sleepers and their dog. The tale of the Seven Sleepers, found in pre-Islamic Christian sources, concerns a group of men who sleep for centuries within a cave, protected by God from religious persecution. Both hadith (sayings of the Prophet), and tafsir (commentaries on the Qur'an) suggest that these verses from the Qur'an have protective qualities.
