All Manichaean and Mandaean Art

Sacred artwork of the related late antique Mesopotamian dualist religions Manichaeism and Mandaeism, chiefly manuscript pages and inscribed ritual objects. Belongs here: a Manichaean book leaf or a Mandaean incantation bowl or comparable object whose text or imagery is drawn from either tradition scripture or ritual practice. Does not belong here: an Islamic manuscript from the same historical region and period, grouped under Islamic Art, despite geographic and chronological overlap with these older Mesopotamian traditions.
