18-19th century large Ottoman Talismanic shirt
This impressive Talismanic from the late 18th to early 19th century, contains multiple handwritten Quranic verses and the most beautiful names of God. On the cotton shirt there are what look like remnants of gold on the names of God. It is possible that they were once plated with gold, which have begun to fade due to its usage and age. The front, left side of the Talismanic has the inscription ‘there is no God but God’ and on the right side ‘Muhammad, the Messenger of God’. These inscriptions are also gold-plated. On the reverse side, there are many Quranic verses and a gold-plated Tughra of the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful.What makes this piece even more unique is that it may have been worn by one of the most important officials during the Ottoman Empire.The Talismanic is 86 cm in width and 128 cm in height and in surprisingly good general condition. There are a few places that require re-stitching.
