Musa va 'Uj (Arabic: موسى و عوج; lit. 'Moses and Og') is a 15th-century manuscript painting from Iran or Iraq. The painting is not signed by any artist, nor does it have an original title—in scholarly literature it has become known by the title Musa va 'Uj.[1] It is unusual in combining figures from all three Abrahamic religions: the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the Madonna and Child, and Moses. Some of Muhammad's successors and family are also shown. First described in the 1930s, the painting was later acquired by the Khalili Collection of Islamic Art.
