DETAILS
A prayer strand cut and finished in Erzurum by Taşhan. It is worked in oltu taşı — the black jet mined at Oltu, outside Erzurum — a soft stone that hardens under polishing. The listing names an Ottoman tughra cipher, and a crescent and star. The full listing remains on the workshop's pages, so the conversation carries on with them.
