What does this mean?

Dear Amer,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This item is a historical manuscript, possibly from the time of the Umayyad dynasty, attributed to a message from Abu Sufyan to an individual named Eqzed. The manuscript appears to be written on an aged piece of parchment, showing significant wear and tear, which is indicative of its considerable age.

The first image displays the manuscript with Arabic script written in black ink, with some portions of the text partially faded or damaged. There is also a round seal or stamp at the bottom, which might have been used to authenticate the document. The condition of the parchment suggests it has been subjected to the ravages of time, including exposure to elements that have caused the edges to become tattered, and there are several holes and missing sections.

The second image shows a document that appears to be an official paper, possibly from the Ottoman period, given the use of stamps, seals, and the presence of the tughra (a calligraphic monogram, seal, or signature of a sultan) in various places on the document. The use of different colored inks, stamps, and the intricate design elements suggest that this might have been an important document, potentially an official decree or legal paper.

This is a conditional appraisal, which means that we have not verified the authenticity of this item. Click here to learn more about the authentication resources that Mearto offers.
