Dating back to an unknown time between 1682 and 1803, this exquisite piece combines elements of artistry and cartography. The intricate details within the map draw our attention, revealing various geographical features such as ports, cities, and even an inset harbor in Rhodes.

One man wearing a turban sits opposite another adorned with a hat while they engage in bargaining over what appears to be a carpet.
