Religions have been known to shape human life since the day when mankind appeared on the stage of history.

Beliefs built upon religions have played an important role in the emergence of temples, grave monuments and

numerous handicraft products. All these emergent elements constitutes one of the important factors of the

identities of societies. Throughout history, human beings have hoped for help from many things, spiritually and

physically, in order to heal. From past to present, people have sought mainly two ways for healing. One of them

is the medical path, while the other is the religion which is observed in every society as a common symptom of

all societies and the sacred books which subsist within this framework. Healing bowls developed based on

religion had been used by people to satisfy the need for healing in two different ways. One of them is for getting

rid of the diseases of the body and the other is for recovering from mental problems. Healing bowls are an

important group of ethnographic works in the transfer of belief traditions, which became an important part of

Anatolian culture with the acceptance of Islam by the Turks, to the present day. In this context, by examining

a group of bowl in Malatya Beşkonaklar Ethnography Museum which forms the basis of the present study, the

art practices were tried to be examined with the understanding of healing quest based on the belief traditions of

the period they belonged to.
