The Narmanlı Mosque is in the Narmanlı neighborhood of Erzurum, and it is located to the east of the Twin Minaret Madrasah. The last line of the four-line marble epigraph, prepared by Veysi Efendi and found at the entrance gate of the mosque, shows the year H.1111/C.1738 for its construction according to the abjad calculation. The mosque was built by Narmanlı Hacı Yusuf Efendi during the reign of Sultan Mahmud I (1730–1754). Its foundation was registered in H.1189/C.1775, long after the construction of the mosque. The foundation's owner is his father Salih. He took his grandfather's name.Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, has been a pioneer not only of artistic innovationsbut also of many other areas. Over time, these innovations were also reflected in the architecture and decorations of the buildings built by the elders of Anatolia, in terms of being a symbol of their relationship with the capital having surpassed the limits of the "payitaht." In addition to the Westernization of art in the Ahmed III period, researchers have stated many times that it had also inspired Hindi-Iranian art. These Eastern inspirations continued until the end of the Mahmud I period. In this article, an evaluation is made on eastern inspirations found in the composition applied to the ornaments in the wooden tribune of the Narmanlı Mosque, which was built in Erzurum under the influence of Istanbul, and its interpretation in Ottoman art.
