Seljuk of Rum period (1081-1307)

By the early twentieth century, the two-story Konya Köşk had largely fallen into ruin, but architectural fragments speak to its former artistic sophistication and lavish polychrome ornamentation. The luxurious mina˒i ceramic technique of some tiles is reminiscent of that associated with the luxury vessels made in Kashan, Iran. The imagery of real and fantastic animals and scenes of equestrian combat aimed to re-create an earthly paradise or the ideal life and just dominion of the sovereign presiding over this cosmos. It also offered supernatural and magical protection to the ruler, his entourage, and the sultanate. The Konya Köşk, although situated in an urban environment, evoked the ideal natural setting awaiting the sultan at his country pavilions as well as the paradisiacal ideal awaiting him in heaven. The Konya Köşk. It is the earliest datable court monument in the Rum Seljuq realm, as well as one of the few remaining examples of early Rum Seljuq architecture in Anatolia.
