Sinetti (2) - Ottomaanien sinetit
A remarkable pair of Ottoman brass seals, each measuring 7 cm in diameter, dating to the late 19th century (circa 1870–1900). These impressive round seals feature Ottoman Turkish inscriptions in beautiful calligraphy, accompanied by symbolic motifs — one depicting a mosque with twin minarets, and the other showing a scorpion and serpent, both traditional symbols of protection and power in Ottoman culture.
Such seals were likely used by officials, scholars, or merchants to authenticate documents or mark ownership. The Ottoman Turkish script (written in Arabic letters) reflects the sophisticated literacy and artistic style of the late imperial period.
With their rich patina and deep, precise engravings, these seals embody the elegance of 19th-century Ottoman craftsmanship and make a distinguished addition to any Islamic or Middle Eastern antique collection.
