Single Tile

With its origins in
Gandhara Buddhism, the Cintamani motif traveled westwards as Emperor Ashoka
spread the wisdom of the Buddha through Asia Minor. Tibetan monks were known to
meditate in the snowy mountains seated on a tiger or leopard pelt and this
translated through time into the cintamani motif which has both the tiger's
stripe and the leopard's spot. The triage of crescent moons at the center is a
manifestation of the Divine. The motif became very popular amongst the Ottoman
Sultans and is prominently featured in Turkish design. The elements of the
cintamani are also believed to protect and give physical and spiritual
fortitude.
