A block printing is seen at an exhibition of the late Nasra Simmeshindi on May 8, 2017 in Ankara, Turkey. Syriac Nasra Simmeshindi was the latest known block printer until her death on April 27, 2016. She has decorated the walls of Assyrian Churches and the monastery in Mardin, a city in southeastern Turkey, with colourful textiles which were printed with depictions of figures such as Jesus Christ and Saint Maria.
