The Collection

Rumi & Palmet

Rumi & Palmet polymer clay cutters carry two of the oldest motifs in Anatolian ornament. The rumi is a split-leaf, winglike scroll drawn from stylised animal forms, developed by the Anatolian Seljuks and carried on by the Ottomans, while the palmet is a fan-shaped leaf motif that travels through Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman art alike.

Both are built on movement and symmetry, curling scrollwork and spreading fans that fill borders and frame larger blooms. This category collects palmet fans, rumi hooks and the medallions that hold them, each cutter shaping the outline and embossing the inner detail in one press. Explore the Rumi & Palmet clay cutters below, made for earrings, pendants and decorative tiles.
