Çintemani tile pattern motif The beliefs of the Turks before the adoption of Islam as a religion in 751 were Shamanism. The Uighurs, one of the Turks who lived as nomads in Central Asia in the pre-Ottoman period, left a legacy of ethnographic artifacts that have survived to the present day. In these artifacts, we see the figurative motifs of Uyghur art, as well as the Three Spots (chintemani) motif under the influence of shamanism. The Uighurs used the Three-spot motif, symbolizing the three powers of the Buddha, as a symbol of sovereignty. This shows us that the three-spot motif, like the cloud and hatai motifs, originated in Central Asia. The abandonment of the use of human and animal figures in ornaments ended with the influence of Islam. Thus, this motif also entered Ottoman period ornaments, but not in the form that reflects the influence of shamanism in terms of its meaning. First of all, it was used together with the parskin as a symbol of masculinity, power, strength and sovereignty under the name of çintemani. The three circles are likened to the spots on the parskin and the two wavy lines to the tiger or parskin. This is why it is frequently used in sultans' and princes' kaftans.
Today, a renewed interest in Ottoman heritage has sparked efforts to restore Iznik çini to their former glory by Turkish artists.
