AN OTTOMAN CALLIGRAPHIC EXERCISE PANEL - Ottoman, Turkey, Ca. 18th-19th century AD. A calligraphic practice panel of rectangular form displays elegantly written script in black ink against a cream-coloured background.

The text is finely executed in a flowing and well-balanced hand, likely representing a student's or master calligrapher’s exercises in refinement.
