Summary
Hilye, signed by the calligrapher al-Haj Musa (dates unknown)
Istanbul, 1712. Original ink and gold on paper, backed with green silk. 46 x 34.1 cm. The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art.
This hilye was designed to be folded and carried in a container on one's person. The crease lines are visible. The two crescents above and below the large circle in the middle contain the description of the Prophet Muhammad. The central circle describes the protective powers of the hilye. The description is supposed to have been written for Mustafa ibn Ibrahim, son of Fatimah, and grandson of Muhammad. The protective hand of Patimah is also drawn on the lower crescent, as another sign against evil. The circle and the edges of the sheet are bordered with Kor'anic verses.
