An exceptional
hand-crafted porcelain work of art. This beautiful original one-of-a-kind plate was specially commissioned and crafted by
the Master Craftsman Hamdi Diker, an acknowledged traditional artist in Turkish Islamic art and is hand signed on the back.
The semitic calligraphy in the center is the traditional tugra "besmele", the opening verse of all chapters of the
Koran, which means "in the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate. The calligraphy around the edge of the plate
is the "Ayatel Kursi", which is commonly in English referred to as the "throne verse" of the Koran, one
of the most famous of all recitations, and was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad on his journey, much beloved because
it is the passage which mentions Allah (God) the most times. This piece alone took more than a month of incredibly precise calligraphy to produce. This is
an original which was twice fired at 1400 degrees centigrade, only 1 exists, it is unique.
It is unique, and comes in its own red velvet presentation case. As an expert
in Oriental Artifacts, I have never seen another piece like this, in another 100 years this will become an Antique Museum
piece.

the designs are from Ottoman times. The dancers can still be seen very occasionally at tourist places in Cappadocia, Konya,
Turkiye, but for 100's of years this was an activity suppressed by the Ottomans as being 'devil worship', the
actuality is that the dancers were from the ancient religion of Zoarastriaism and their high was not purely from the dancing
which can take many years to perfect, but also the use of 'Hashishin' ..... also the root of the word 'assasin'
a Shi'ite sect of 'for-hire' mercenaries in the 11-13th centuries who used Hashish extensively, wherein is derived
the word Assassin. Dimensions
are: Dervisher dancer 8" tall, drummer and fluetist 4" high
