Manichaean and Mandaean Art (Sacred Art and Iconography)

Manuscripts and objects that belong to the Manichaean and Mandaean religions, such as illuminated leaves from Manichaean books found in Central Asia and the inscribed incantation bowls of Mandaean magic. An entry belongs here when its article ties the object to one of these two gnostic communities. The group page sets related works side by side so that a reader can compare how a tradition, medium or period pictured its sacred subjects.
