Engraved Marble With Sultan Abdul Hamid II Tughra Seal At Al Jazzar Mosque In Acre

Engraved Marble With Sultan Abdul Hamid II Tughra Seal At Al Jazzar Mosque In Acre

In the image, the intricate details of a round marble stone come into focus, revealing a masterfully engraved calligraphy monogram. This monogram is none other than the Tughra seal of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, the Ottoman ruler who reigned from 1876 to 1909. The marble stone finds its place within the historic courtyard of Al Jazzar Pasha Mosque in the old city of Acre. The Tughra, an imperial emblem of the Ottoman Empire, showcases the name of Sultan Abdulhamid II with elegance and precision. The calligraphic inscription reads, 'Abdulhamid Han bin Abdulmecid el-Muzaffer Daima,' translating to 'Sultan Abdulhamid, son of Abdulmecid (the ever victorious).' The craftsmanship of the engraving reflects the artistry and cultural significance of the Ottoman era. The context of the setting, within the courtyard of Al Jazzar Pasha Mosque, adds another layer of historical depth. The mosque is associated with Ahmed Pasha al-Jazzar, born Ahmed Pervan, who served as the Ottoman Bosnian governor of Sidon Eyalet from 1776 until his death in 1804. Notably, Ahmed Pasha played a pivotal role in fortifying Acre, where he relocated the provincial capital. In 1799, he successfully defended Acre against Napoleon with the assistance of the British navy, compelling the French leader to withdraw from Palestine in disarray.
