Seljuk

Seljuk polymer clay cutters draw on the art of the Anatolian Seljuks, the tradition that shaped so much of what followed in Ottoman design. Seljuk ornament is built on angular geometry, star systems of eight, twelve and more points, interlace and knots, alongside the scale and vein compositions and the split-leaf rumi that the Seljuks first developed.

This category gathers those Seljuk-rooted forms, the geometric stars, knotwork and stylised leaves that carry a stricter, more architectural feel than the flowing Ottoman florals. Each cutter shapes the outline and embosses the inner detail in a single press. Browse the Seljuk clay cutters below, drawn from scratch and tested in clay.
