Eser GÜLTEKİN The Turkish word for abundance “Bereket” is actually a word with Arabic roots meaning wealth, happiness and gift of God. The Turks have been using the abundance symbols in order to express their wishes for eternal happiness and wealth. Also the Ancient Anatolian Civilizations believed strongly in the abundance concept and were actually presenting sacrifices to Gods for this purpose. The fact that we comment on the fruit symbols is because these fruits are actually subsistence with seeds. The seed is a core that would secure the continuousness of the next generations. The fruits were considered as the eggs of the world due to the seeds they contain. This has caused different comments on this matter. For example these fruits were sometimes used to symbolize immortality, happiness and fertility. The grainy plants and fruits such which were used as abundance symbols by the Turks are: grapes, pomegranate, fig, melon, watermelon, wheatear etc. These were commonly used in decorations to symbolize fertility, abundance and tree of life since the ancient times. The fruits which symbolize abundance are richly present in the hand woven products of Anatolia, in the needle works, in stone and metal works and in the ceramic and earthenware examples. They were also carried to the interior spaces of daily life and architecture. The Turks, by decorating their walls with various scenes of life, presented their cultural richness and helped them to be carried from one generation to the next. Some of these decorations were also the fruits which symbolize the abundance according to their belief. Such abundance symbols are to be found in the Turkish architecture sometimes on a place wall, sometimes on the walls of a religious room and sometimes on the walls of an Anatolian residence. We come across with these abundance symbols, which are used as decorations in the architecture, as hand-drawn on the walls and on the ceilings, as plaster decorations, as stone decorations, as ceramic decorations, as wooden decorations and as metal decorations. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/education?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=13669 https://turkishstudies.net/education?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=13669 Gönül CANTAY This study surveys the representation of fruit and fruit trees in Turkish decorative arts under the subtitles of Palmet-rumi-lotus, Hayati and Naturalist decorations. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/education?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=13670 https://turkishstudies.net/education?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=13670 Deniz ÇALIŞIR This study surveys traditional Ottoman still-life paintings in the content of fruit, by focusing on its symbolic meaning.

As a result of studies, it has been shown that fruit has the symbolic meanings of immortality, the existence that is the core of something, a jewel and truth. It is seen that the symbolisms of fruit by itself changes according to societies. The apple became the fruit of the tree in paradise and the “golden apple” is the symbol of immortality. The grape symbolizes autumn, the pomegranate bountifulness, reproduction, maternity and birth. As a result of my research in the art of calligraphy it has been proven that there are manuscripts reflecting religious and mystic subjects have been stacked neatly in the forms of pears, apples and pomegranate. In the Turkish Foundation Calligraphic Arts Museum, the only such one in Turkey and in the world there are three examples of calligraphy neatly stacked in pear form. It seems that the stacked fruit in the form of pears, apples and pomegranates and written in various techniques were lovingly used by calligraphers who had great creative power, sought change in the Turkish art of calligraphy and worked in religious and mystic circles. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/education?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=13672 https://turkishstudies.net/education?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=13672 Lütfen Seçiniz, 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/education?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=13673 https://turkishstudies.net/education?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=13673 Mustafa AKÇAY Pomegranate is mentioned in Kuran as fruit of paradise and world.
