  • Decoration in Ottoman Art

    The discouragement of representative art by Islam led on the one hand to the development of calligraphy, and on the other to graphic forms of expression derived from ancient roots applied to all areas of creative expression.

    Decoration of kinds was known as nakis, and applied to every area from architecture to the minor arts, from books to tiles, and fabrics to weapons.
