Botanical rumi is an ornamental style built from stylized plant motifs that was widely used in Ottoman and Seljuk art. Hatayi, palmet and lotus blossoms together with leaves and vines are abstracted so the pattern captures nature while adding refined elegance.
You encounter these motifs in architectural decoration, manuscripts, ceramics, textiles and woodwork; they exemplify the abstract spirit of Islamic art. Botanical rumi is frequently paired with geometric layouts to create balanced, intricate compositions whose aesthetic and symbolic meanings align with the philosophy of Islamic art.
