TUGRA The tugra was the imperial Ottoman cipher or monogram used to authenticate documents of state, used instead of the sultan's signature. The earliest example was the simple tugra of Sultan Orhan Gazi (1334-1362). The monogram consisted of the sultan's name, his patronymic, and the invocation "el muzaffer dâima" ("Ever victorious"). The principal elements of the tugra consist of the kürsü or sere (the monogram proper), tug (the shafts), zülfe (dependent sweeps from the tug), inner and outer beyza (loops), and hançer or kol (pincer-like projections). |
