We are able to provide such an intricate design due to laser cut machine technology, but the text is still applied by hand, giving the piece an antique feel.

The History of Kati’, Islamic Papercut Art
The earliest examples of Islamic papercut art, known as "kati" in Turkish, can be traced back to intricately carved leather book covers. As the art form evolved, it found expression in manuscript decorations, page borders, and intricate motifs adorning various Islamic artworks. Notably, the art flourished during the Safavid and Ottoman periods, with esteemed artists like Abdullah Kaatı and Efşancı Mehmet contributing to its refinement and popularity. Their masterpieces, ranging from carved script to elaborate nature scenes, continue to captivate audiences today.
