    Who among you can understand this artwork written in an incomprehensible language? Screenshot_20231021-171303_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20231021-171340_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20231021-171423_Gallery.jpg

    I find it very difficult to see what it is, but I do see some shapes that could be Turkish, like the ewer and the flower on the right and the leaf on the left.

    Turkey is known for making excellent embossed leather products, so they could have made embossed leather art too.

    Better quality photographs would be helpful, Adam.

    It looks difficult to photograph. Make sure the light source isn't straight on the piece. Try a light from the side, so the raised areas become more distinct. Daylight from one side for instance.
    No flashlight.

    @Adam1, I tried to enhance the color, sharpen, brighten and contrast your item.....best I could do.....I also put it in the correct orientation and then inverted the color to a blue which I think showed some of the scene better.....BUT I DON'T have a clue as to what the scene may be or where it is depicting....OTHERS may be better at guessing! Best of luck with it!!! There IS some writing at the bottom, which of course, I cannot interpret, or get any clearer!! Sorry! Maybe @Any Jewelry?

    Adam, could you also post closeup photos of the writing please? That is very likely a clue.

    @Any Jewelry, I don't know if these are of any help.......I tried to enlarge them from the bottom of the piece showing, then de-saturated the top one, left the middle the 'rust-ish' color and the last the bluei-sh....was hard to try to bring up just the letters and don't think I was too successful..........maybe you or someone else can or cannot pull anything out of them....there are a few large letters at the top as well, but I also don't know if they have meaning.......have to be up early so time to hit the hay..........:happy::happy::happy: (If I tried to enlarge too much I think I'd just distort the letters............)
