Ottoman Imperial Alem. Deniz Muzesi collection.

Sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is from my visit to the Naval museum in Istanbul. It is an Ottoman imperial Alem found at the front of the imperial caigues (Barge) carved from wood and gold leaf with acanthus leaf and crescent moon design.
