Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Tiles from the Roman stage building of the theatre at Aspendos that was converted into a Seljuk Palace in the mid-13th century, of five floors with a mosque. The entrance to the palace being through the Seljuk entrance built right in the middle of the Roman Theatre facade and the zig-zag paintwork, visible on the theatre today, is characteristic of all Seljuk Royal buildings. These tiles, probably from the palace mosque, comprise two types: a pointed four armed cross shaped tile and a square tile. The square tiles contain the Names of God in Arabic script and depictions of birds and designs in cream on blue ground; while each cross-shaped tile is decorated in blue with a black underglaze design. Similar cross tiles have been found in the palace in the Alanya Castle, at the Seljuk Palace of Kubadabad by Lake Beyflehir, from the Roman Baths re-used as a palace in the 13th century at Laodiceia and elsewhere in the Sultanate.
