Magnificent, exquisite Persian car­
pets, and painstakingly illustrated
albums and books.
The exhibition also features nu­
merous copies of the Holy Kur’an
which, for Muslims, is the literal
Word of God as received by the
Prophet Muhammad. The memori­
zation of the Kur’an, and the copy­
ing and embellishment of its text, are
among the highest expressions of
piety and considered some of the
most beautiful works of Ottoman
medallions, scrolling arabesques, and
floral motifs in bright colors.
The Ottomans were warriors of
Islam and expanded their empire
into both Christian Europe and Shi ’ ite
Iran. Their army on campaign -
virtually a palace on the move -
made a brilliant and awesome sight.
On view in Empire of the Sultans are
silk banners enriched with metallic
threads, steel war masks with en­
graved decoration, as well as armor
and “turban” helmets; jewel-en­
crusted horse armor; beautiful forged
daggers and sheaths; and pistols and
flintlock rifles inlaid with bone, ivory,
gems, and gold. As the Ottoman
army advanced, able administrators
were recruited to document and
enforce the sultan’s conquests, and
on view are decorated endowment
deeds, illustrated accounts of the
sultan's reigns and genealogy and
imperial decrees.
Second only to their religious
architecture, the Ottomans are per­
haps best known for their decora­
tive arts, particularly ceramics and
carpets. Early examples of poetry
produced in Iznik demonstrate the
sultan’s demand for tableware to
augment the Palace holdings or
early Ming Yuan porcelain, and
thus the exhibition contains flasks,
ewers, and dishes whose surfaces
mimic those of Chinese wares. An
array of domestic objects in silver,
brass, and glass, including jugs,
incense burners, coffee-pots, a
ladle, and a scent-dropper employ
shapes and designs influenced by
artistic trends from across the
empire and parts of Europe. O f all
the decorative arts in the exhibition,
however, none is more essentially
Ottoman than the “star Usak” car­
pet created in the late 15* or early
16* century, a brilliantly colored
example of the traditional, eight-
pointed, star medallion. Book bind­
ings and examples of decoupage
(cut-out work) reached the height
o f virtuosity during the rule of
Suleyman the Magnificent and the
exhibition includes important ex­
amples of these. The Portland Art
Museum is located at 1219 SW.
Park Avenue in downtown Port­
land. For more information on this
and other Museum exhibitions,
please call 503/226-2811 or visit
