The Tomb of İsa Sofi (Шаблон:Lang-tr) is an early 14th century tomb located in Borcak, Söğüt in the district of Bilecik, Turkey.[1][2] The tomb contains "shamanic" decorations of Gök Tanrı (sky god), related to Central Asian Turkish beliefs—the first such decorations found in Anatolia.[2][3][4] The tomb was dedicated to İsa Sofi, a friend of Ertuğrul, father of Osman Gazi (Osman I), founder of the dynasty that ruled the Ottoman Empire.[2] İsa Sofi had a lodge in the area at the time of Osman I.[4]

It is similar architecturally to the tombs of Gülruh Sultan and Gülşah Hatun in Bursa.[2]

Decorations

The decorations, which are in good condition, were discovered during the tomb's renovation, revealed when plaster was scraped away.[1][4] The decorations of the tomb bear no Islamic imagery, and they are unlike those of any other tomb in Turkey.[4]

The tomb contains no Islamic elements except for its orientation.[2]

Use

Up until recently, the site continued to have social and religious importance for the village, serving as a local pilgrimage site and location for Hıdırellez celebrations.[1]
