Ottoman Style Zoomorphic Calligraphy of a Wading Bird (Crane / Stork).

✓ This closeup captures the right panel of the diptych, showing a calligram of a long-necked crane or stork. ✓ The flowing Thuluth script shapes the bird's body to read the Basmala (Bismillah al Rahman al-Rahim). ✓ Below the bird's tail feathers, it features an artist's signature seal by the famous Ottoman calligrapher Mustafa Raqim Efendi and explicit Islamic Hegira date reading 1223( هـ ١٢٢٣ AH), which translates directly to 1808–1808 AD.
