Writing board with Koranic claims
Quran tablets were used in West Africa, especially in northern Nigeria, for teaching the Quran. They were used to teach pupils the Arabic script so that they could read and study the Koran, the holy book of the Muslims. The writing can be wiped off so that the board can be written on again and again. The Koran consists of 114 Koranic verses, the suras, which can also be learnt by heart in a specific order in traditional Koran schools. The tablet is written on both sides in Arabic script. It shows suras 109 to 113 and was probably used by a beginner, as the writing is not perfect and the copy contains numerous mistakes.
