Type: Original Ottoman Empire Land Deed / Title Deed (Sened-i Hakani)

Era/Date: Late 19th Century (Ottoman Era)

Geographic Location: Izmit / Karamürsel region (İzmit Sancağı), Turkey.

Property Type: Includes a House (Hane), Land (Arsa), and a Mulberry Orchard (Tutluk / Dutluk), which is historically significant as mulberry trees were essential for local silk production (sericulture) in the Izmit/Bursa region.

Historical Importance (Christian / Non-Muslim Provenance): This document is highly unique as it details the inheritance and property transfer among local Christian (Greek/Armenian) Ottoman subjects. As seen in photo, it explicitly records names such as Nikola, Yani (Yanni), Petro, Meryem (Mary), and Eleni (Helen) within the inheritance lineage (intikal).
