This work of Islamic calligraphy, titled "Hilye," was created by the renowned Ottoman artist Hafiz Osman (1642-1698). The artwork is a testament to the rich artistic tradition of Ottoman miniature painting. The central panel, adorned with a circular inscription, showcases Osman's masterful use of intricate script. The piece is framed by a vibrant turquoise border, meticulously decorated with intricate floral motifs, reflecting a characteristic element of Ottoman decorative arts.
