Good piece on the Tughra of Sultan Süleiman the Magnificent hanging in the Met.

New Episode: 82nd & Fifth
GETTING LOST with Deniz Beyazit

This tughra, or signature, is very hard to read, admits curator Deniz Beyazit. However, she adds, “By looking closely I really discovered that there is a system. That there is a beauty. There is a sense of music even behind how these flowers work together.” http://met.org/XqA40w

Click the dots to hear each phrase in the tughra which contains the phrase "Süleiman, king, son of Selim, king, Han the Victorious forever." http://met.org/XqA2FX

Tughra (Official Signature) of Sultan Süleiman the Magnificent (r. 1520–66) (detail) | ca. 1555–60 | Turkey, Istanbul
