Description
Ottoman Empire Turkey antique filigree gold plated copper large amulet pendant with tughra on coins
Hand crafted, filigree.
Size: 14 x 9 cm. (5.5 x 3.5 inches)
Weight: 36 gr.
A tughra (Ottoman Turkish: ????, romanized: ?u?r?; Turkish: tu?ra) is a calligraphic monogram, seal or signature of a sultan that was affixed to all official documents and correspondence. Inspired by the tamgha, it was also carved on his seal and stamped on the coins minted during his reign. Very elaborate decorated versions were created for important documents that were also works of art in the tradition of Ottoman illumination, such as the example of Suleiman the Magnificent in the gallery below.
