Siyah Mashq
Siyah mashq was originally just a practice for the calligrapher to warm up his hand and to refine the shape of letters by repeating them over and over. these practices resulted in a page filled with words and letters, hence the name siyah mashq literally meaning "black practice". when calligraphers realised how stunning some of these pieces were it was turned into a style of its own. words and letters are repeated regardless of meaning, all for the sake of composition and style.
