20th century Curtain of the Chamber of Felicity

This is a wonderful handmade embroidered Sitar. Hours of work by several skilled artists made this likeness to the Curtain of the Chamber of Felicity. The original of which is hanging in the Medeniyetleri Islam Muzesi in Istanbul. 

This sitar has a vibrant red base colour and is embroidered with gold coloured copper thread. The calligraphy on the top says:. May peace and blessings be upon you, o Imam of the pious (al-salato wa as-salamo alaika ya imamo al-motaquin). Underneath there are two cartouches with the testimony (shahadda) 'There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God’. 

Period: 20th century

Dimensions: 180 by 265 cm. 17 kg.
