19c Persian Islamic calligraphy in OSTRICH shape

Item Details

Description

19th century Persian calligraphy done in ink on paper in a shape of an ostrich. Zoomorphic Islamic calligraphy as art form is a mode of script metamorphosing into living forms which are also readable letters and of using scripts to delineate such forms. The flexibility of the Arabic letters allows them to be bent and extended in a way which is impossible with other alphabets. It was developed in the 15th century and practiced in Ottoman Turkey, India and Iran. Beautifully and imaginatively done, in perfect condition. I was told that the ostrich spells words IN THE NAME OF GOD THE MERCIFUL, and the inscription is done in Naskh script. For similar examples see pp. 136-137 of ISLAMIC CALLIGRAPHY by Y.H. Safadi, Shambala Publications, 1979. Image size in sight 6.5 x 4 inches, frame size 11 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches.
