Stone Inscription Band: A Line of Text on the Door

A stone carving band above the entrance lintel. A shallow relief of Arabic calligraphy spans the entire width of the door, with a rounded, cursive style. Delicate scrollwork fills the gaps at the bottom, and geometric knots finish both ends. The stone material is the same color as its surroundings, identified by shadows. Avoid: making the inscription into applied metal letters, replacing calligraphy with geometric patterns, making the size of the letters disproportionate to the door width, placing multiple competing inscription bands on the same wall.

入口門楣上方的一條石雕帶。淺浮雕的阿拉伯書法橫過整個門寬,字體是圓潤連筆的樣式,底部有細緻的卷草填滿空隙,兩端以幾何花結收尾。石材與周邊同色,靠陰影辨識。避免:把銘文做成貼上去的金屬字、用幾何圖案取代書法、讓字的大小與門寬不成比例、在同一面牆上放置多條互相競爭的銘文帶。
