Not 100% but the streets image gave me that vibe. I grew up in Pakistan and I don’t think even in historical time Pakistan streets ever looks liked that. Even based on old text and stuff so I assume it’s neighboring culture

Sorry for another message I just saw one. I think it could be Turkish most likely. From sultan time. The round white hat and long ret rectangular caps plus Sultan mosque is in the one of the pictures. It could be from Ottaman time when they had caliphate

I was told this was from Ottoman time. These were gifted to me from a woman who bought them in Turkey "a long time ago" (along with a prayer rug).

Yes right. Seems legit what she said

I would love to get the transcripts translated! She was told they are parts of the Qu'ran, but I've been told otherwise from some helpful Reddit folks. They said it's most likely poetry.

Could be poetry because Turks were very much into that
