"Al-Aziz" — The Mighty, The Honored One — one of the 99 Names of Allah, hand-lettered in deep maroon and gilded with genuine 24k gold leaf, surrounded by a delicate tezhip spray of hand-painted florals.
This is an original, one-of-a-kind work by Aysel Toprak, a master of classical Turkish arts with over 30 years of experience. The calligraphy sits above a single curling floral branch rendered in gold, pink, and sage green — a composition in the Ottoman tezhip tradition, where illumination was reserved for the most sacred texts. Genuine gold leaf is applied and burnished by hand, a technique passed down through generations of Turkish master calligraphers and illuminators. Set in a custom-built frame with a deep maroon mat and double gold border, it arrives ready to hang.
This is a one-of-a-kind original — not a print or reproduction. No two pieces from this hand can ever be identical.
