{"product_id":"levha-hadis-i-serif-unknown-ottoman-calligrapher","title":"Levha (Hadis-i Şerîf) - Unknown Ottoman Calligrapher","description":"\u003cp\u003eA traditional Ottoman levha featuring a Hadith in elegant Thuluth script, dated 1804. This piece exemplifies the refined artistry of historical Islamic calligraphy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a traditional Ottoman levha, a form of wall-mounted calligraphy designed for display in homes, mosques, or public buildings. The work features a Hadith, a recorded saying of the Prophet Muhammad, rendered in the Thuluth script. This script is known for its curved lines and elegant proportions, often used for monumental inscriptions and formal documents within Islamic art traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is balanced, with the text arranged in two primary horizontal registers. The upper section contains the introductory phrase, while the lower section presents the core message of the Hadith. To the left, a smaller, circular arrangement of text serves as a signature or seal, providing context for the production of the piece. The date 1219, corresponding to the year 1804 in the Gregorian calendar, is visible, placing this work within the late Ottoman period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOttoman calligraphy reached a high level of technical refinement during this era. The calligrapher demonstrates mastery over the pen, ensuring that the vertical strokes maintain a consistent rhythm while the horizontal connections flow with precision. The contrast between the light-coloured ink and the dark background is a common aesthetic choice in levha production, intended to make the sacred text legible and visually striking. Such works were not merely decorative; they functioned as reminders of religious teachings, integrating spiritual reflection into the daily environment. The precision of the letterforms reflects the rigorous training required of calligraphers in the Ottoman tradition, where the mastery of specific scripts was a lifelong pursuit. This print captures the clarity and formal beauty of the original manuscript, preserving the balance between the written word and the spatial arrangement of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/kita-hadis-i-serif-ottoman-calligrapher\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eKıta (Hadis-i Şerîf) - Ottoman Calligrapher — Ottoman Calligrapher\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/tughra-of-sultan-mahmud-ii-mustafa-rakim\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTughra of Sultan Mahmud II - Mustafa Rakim — Mustafa Rakim\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown Ottoman Calligrapher","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58785205387599,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58785226326351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58785226359119,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58785226391887,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58785226424655,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58785226457423,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58785226490191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58785226522959,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58785226555727,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58785226588495,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58785226621263,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58785226654031,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Levha-Hadis-i-er-f-_Poster_CompositorV1_1789426567034.jpg?v=1789427561","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/levha-hadis-i-serif-unknown-ottoman-calligrapher","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
