THE FINIAL AND ITS USES IN OTTOMAN ARCHITECTURE

Summary/Abstract: The finial, which holds an important place in Islamic art, has also become a subject adopted by different civilizations. Used in religious, social, and architectural contexts, finials have evolved in the hands of artists and have acquired a significant place in our culture. The earliest examples of Turkish art were created in the tents of Central Asian Turkic communities. During the Ottoman period, however, they became an integral part of structures such as domes, minarets, and fountains, forming an indispensable element of architecture. In the research, the sections of the structures are named according to their shapes, and general information about them is expressed in the subject matter. Architectural structures feature different materials such as stone, metal, and ceramics. Those that stand out, especially in architectural details, retain their value as historical artifacts from the Ottoman period.
