There is a text, indicating this represents Karagöz, a popular hero in stories and shadow play.

Karagöz Kırklareli’nde söz sahibi tanınmış bir kişi idi. Adına sofyozlu bali celebi derlerdi. Kambur Ahmet efendi olarak da bilinirdi. zeki kibar sözü geçen sanatkar bir halk adamı idi. Türk gölge oyunu’na adını verdi. 13 yüzyılın sonu ile 14 yüzyılın ilk yarısında yaşadı.

I could not translate one sentence, the rest would be:
He was a well-known person in Kırklari. He was also known as Ahmet Efendi the Hunchback . He was a smart, polite, influential, artistic man of the people. The Turkish shadow play was named after him. He lived between the end of the 13th century and the first half of the 14th century. Evliya Çelebi
