This untitled artwork is a fine example of Islamic calligraphy by the renowned calligrapher Sheikh Hamdullah (1436–1520). The piece features elegant script written in black ink against a pale background. The text is framed in a gilded border, which is decorated with floral motifs in gold, blue, and red. The art of Islamic calligraphy is revered in the Muslim world and is often seen in religious manuscripts, such as the Quran. Sheikh Hamdullah is known for his innovative and highly stylized scripts, which became the standard in Ottoman calligraphy.
