Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic prowess of its unknown creator.

Made from tombak gilded copper and ivory, this artifact represents the rich heritage of art in Turkey during the Ottoman Empire (1299-1923). Its vibrant colors and ornate patterns reflect the influence of Islamic aesthetics on Ottoman craftsmanship.
