Iznik museum cintemani motif 5077.jpg

One of pictures taken in 2003. On the web one can read cintemani is "Chinese point" and is of Chinese origin. It represented three jewels of Buddhism, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, but on the notice in the museum three pearls and lightening are given as the motifs elements. The motif is seen in many tiles in mosques all over the country, as well as on other ceramics.
