Al-Wakwak is an island, or possibly more than one island, in medieval Arabic geographical and imaginative literature. Sources variously identify al-Wakwak as representing Japan, Madagascar, Sumatra or Java, with others describing it as an island in the China Sea ruled by a queen with an entirely female population. This painting in watercolor and gold on paper was created in Mughal India in the early 1600s, and depicts a plant that brings forth animal life in multiple forms, derived from a conflation of medieval Persian and Quranic sources, including descriptions of al-Wakwak as inhabited by half-plant and half-animal creatures. The work is now in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio. Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount Jerusalem. |

I took contact with Wikipedia in January of 2007. The idea of a free encyclopedia with the aim of having an important part of the common knowledge of humanity felt irresistible so since then I try to help improving this huge work.
Thanks to everybody who considered I merited one of these: It's amazing how only a tiny image and a comment helps to maintain the daily effort.
