The outside of box is made by gluing Battal marbling on the cardboard. Battal marbling is the name of the first and most important form, which is the basis of all forms of marbling art.

Red Tulip with Muraqqa Technique
£325.00This artwork is made using Murakka technique.

In this example, the artist has combined three different ebru styles: battal (stone pattern), çiçek (floral) and kumlu (sandy), all designed to complement one another. The artist has used the battal ebru style to create the outer frame of this work, which is one of the basic patterns and is widely used in marbling, and the kumlu ebru style to create the inner frame, which is usually applied as a thin sill, drawn on the edges of the flowered marbling. The tulip is one of the hardest flower to make on the surface especially because there is no room for correction. Furthermore, In the Islamic numerology Tulip carries the same value as Allah.
