Hilye-i Şerif (“The Noble Description”)

Hilye-i şerîf or hilye-i nebî is an ornamental art developed by Ottoman calligraphers in the 17th century. It includes Qur’anic verses and Prophet Hz. Muhammad’s a description of the physical and moral characteristics. The four circular panels contain the names of Hz. Abu Bakr, Hz. Omar, Hz. Ali and Hz. Uthman.

Initially, the calligrapher (who is unknown) wrote this Hilye on the cardboard and the illuminator, Sema Yurtseven, has uniquely designed and applied this harmonious and coherent illumination art. In the original artwork, real gold is used for the yellow parts you see here.
