CHINTAMANI

The pattern which consists two intertwined crescents is also known as Leopard Spots. The powerful leopard’s spots represent the Sultan’s strength. In early Ottoman Era,  Chintamani was used for fabrics and tiles. It gives simplicity and sedateness to the room which it is used in. Chintamani forms three eye shapes with circles and crescents; each of them has a meaning: “Eye of the Heart, Eye of the Mind, Eye of the Earth”. None of these eyes interfere with one another;which represents life’s perspective in harmony.
