Seven-page illuminated poem- the Elif Kasida- in the classical Ottoman folio style. Handmade, end-to-end. I dyed and burnished the paper, did the illuminated panels, marbled the paper, and bound it into the murakka. The calligraphy is a study of the famous masterpiece by Mehmet Sevki Efendi c.1870.4yr ⋅ joshberer ⋅ r/Calligraphy
