Page of Ottoman Calligraphy 

This page of Ottoman calligraphy is attributed to the celebrated calligrapher Sheikh Hamdullah (1436-1520) and displays his renowned mastery of the art of writing. The artwork features intricate script, likely passages from the Quran, arranged within a richly decorated frame. The calligraphic style, known as "thuluth," is characterized by its elegant and flowing forms, highlighting the beauty of the Arabic alphabet. The golden and colorful details within the borders of the frame are typical of Ottoman art, reflecting a fusion of Islamic traditions with Persian and Byzantine influences.
