Window Details, Yesil Mosque, Bursa, Turkey

            Yeşil Mosque (Green Mosque), also known as Mosque of Mehmed I, is a part of the larger complex (a külliye) located on the east side of Bursa, Turkey, the former capital of the Ottoman Turks before they captured Constantinople in 1453. The complex consists of a mosque, türbe, madrasah, kitchen and bath.

The Yeşil Mosque can be shown as the perfect blend between architecture and embellishment, also the proof that such works of art were produced in a country where the battles between siblings had come to an end and peace had returned. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Mehmed I Çelebi and built between 1419–1421 by architect vezir Hacı İvaz Pasha. The artists of painted decorations were Ali bin Ilyas and Mehmed el Mecnun. 

About the pattern: The “Rumi”, one of the leading motifs of the Ottoman decorative arts has been a basic ornament not only in manuscripts, but in all branches of decorative arts: in tile work, clothing, wood carving etc. They developed especially in the hands of the Anatolian Seljuks who made ample use of them.
