Özet:

In the study, the motivation of the hanging grape, which is an important element in the art of Turkish decoration, is assessed, the place in the Turkish culture; the motivation concerned is focused on the form, origin and iconographic meaning. In the study, because the number of historic tomb stones in the Istanbul Karacaahmet Cemetery is excessive, a group of tomb stones have been assessed with assault-wire-motivated tomb stones. When we look at the tomb stones in the Karacaahmet Cemetery, we see a lot of plant, geometric and objective motifs and architectural elements are placed. One of the most commonly used and remarkable of these motives is the asma-zeme motives. The motivation of asma is seen in some examples in a fruit box, while in some examples it is seen along with a selvi. In some examples, it has been processed in different parts of the tomb stone with different plant motifs. In terms of reflecting and informing the Turkish people’s past, the importance of the hang-to-face-motivated tomb stones in the Karacahmet tomb stones is attributed.
