Ok. So it does come from the same source. Interesting.(I just “Boogled” Iznik tiles. They are quite Beautiful) Thank you. Learned something new today. 🙂
The lotus design arrived in the imperial courts of Ottoman empire from China. They first copied and then made the lotus their own. You can see many lotus flowers in ottoman embroidery and iznik tiles.
Is that right? Didn’t know that. Well, I know close to zip about Turkey.
Even more than tulips? What is the place of lotus in Turkey. In Asia I know. More or less.
