Ottoman empire, probably Ottoman Balkans, cca early 20th century. Very fine and attractive square-shaped silk embroidery on simple cotton or linen ground with golden silk fringes. Impressive Arabic calligraphy is used as a highly decorative and religious symbol without any specific meaning, which is so-called “pseudo-inscription”, used in the lands under Islamic sway.
