Ottoman embroidery - inscriptionos translation and toughra ID

Very nice. I think the other script may be "Allah" though hard for me to determine in the sewing.

I love Ottoman tughras.

Hi Battara
very long argument with my "favorite" translator,
about what you seems have read, as well as me

but ... she is formal ... wrong transcription

it's not the Holy Name for God ...

all the best
