EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Mosaic piece, dating back to the 13th century between the years 1242 and 1243, is a stunning example of Islamic art from the Madrasa of Sircali in Konya, Turkey. Now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, this masterpiece showcases the intricate interplay of geometric shapes and Arabic scripture. The mosaic's edge is adorned with a golden border, framing the intricate patterns of hexagons and polygons that form the base of the design. At the center, the Arabic scripture is written in elegant calligraphy, forming words and letters that are both visually striking and spiritually significant. The scripture is set against a dark background, allowing the golden letters to truly shine. The figure in the center, perhaps representing a scholar or a religious figure, adds a human touch to the otherwise abstract design. The Seljuk and Selucid periods in Anatolia, during which this mosaic was created, were marked by a rich cultural exchange between the Islamic world and the Byzantine Empire. This is reflected in the fusion of geometric and figurative elements in the mosaic, as well as the use of both Arabic and Greek influences in the design. The Madrasa of Sircali was a center of learning and scholarship in Konya, and this mosaic is a testament to the artistic and intellectual achievements of the time. The intricate details, from the precise edges to the delicate scripture, speak to the skill and dedication of the artisans who created it. Today, this piece continues to inspire awe and admiration, a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Middle Ages.
