The Kufic script at the top is prepared in its specificdesign. The letters are so thick and the gaps amongthem are filled with curly décors like Roum ornamentation.Ma’kili,located in the base decorations, in Mardin Hasankeyf El-Rizk mosqoue minaret.“Ism-i Nebi” composition,XIV.century..signed quite thick were narrow on vertical line. Whilethe first arm of Lam-elifs (one of the Arabic letters) isstraight, the second arm of it gets thinner by curvinglike the new moon. The outer fringe started with Kuficscript is really rich. The thick and thin bricks frominterior to outer hold the main theme tightly. Threearm-themetelescoped by geometric design covers theouter surface.4.VII. Fergana Seyh Fazil MausoleumSeyh Fazil Mausoleum is one of the important worksof the Karakhanid. Built by bricks, 14 meters tallshows something between mausoleum and dome.Cubic on the walls as a tromp zone is octagon and isin the form of flat cone. Though this brick building isso simple, it has an amazing internal decoration. Internalwalls covered by dome bewilder you with itsperfect internal design. Topsides of the walls are filledwith Kufic script. The other Kufic scripts are availableon the tromp zone surrounded by sharp round roofbars. The internal dome is covered by stucco decorations.Seyh Fazil Mausoleum having no historical inscriptionis among the Nasr Bin Ali and Celaleddin HuseyinMausoleums in Ozkent on account of style andpoints 12th century. 12The internal decoration of the Mausoleum1) The decoration of square-shaped main area.The stucco décor of internal side, which started at thebottom, was organized in the shape of clover, but thispart is not seen on the photograph. On this area, thereare three circular compositions are set on squaredzone. There are also different décors on Kufic script.The angles are decorated, too. The script on the boardin the center is probably done later. Kufic script is writtenin diverse characteristics and in wonderful design.2) The roundel in a roof bar is put on the dome taboret.There are hallows that are in semi-circle on theroof bar taboret. There are smaller badges on the cornersof the roof bar. When generally looked at, thedecorations of all circular areas are filled with differenthexagon designs. The inside of Mausoleum builtby bricks consists of very rich decors. The tomb designedlike this shows the harmony, the period, the cultureand the esthetic to the world in an effective way.When we see gorgeous structures like those, we needto ask ourselves: “can we build humanistic, radical andgentle constructions like this which will remind thosebuildings.”4.VIII. Ozkend Celaleddin Huseyin MausoleumThe three of Karakhanid Mausoleums found in Ozkendare placed side by side. The first is Nasr Bin Alie,the second is Celaleddin Huseyin and the third oneis other mausoleum built in 1187. Celaleddin HuseyinMausoleum placed in the middle was built by CelaleddinHuseyin in 1152 according to the script. Turkishname “Alp Kilic Tonga Bilge Turk Togrul Hakan” stateshis Turkishness. His death year is 1156. This Karakhanidmausoleum having put the dome on the fourwalls is one of the most important Turkish architecturein terms of facade. The sharp roof bar niche issurrounded by wide geometric bordures. The naskhscript encircling the roof bar niche is seen in Rum forthe first time.Some detailed decors on the surface vanish. Octagonstars being inside of portal roof bar niche are tiedup each other and the gaps among them were filledwith curly branches, palmette and roums. The richnessin simplicity stands out. When looked at the portalroof bar niche decoration plan, marvelous décorrichness stands out. Excellent roums in the triple roofbar bewilders you with each motif. The roums havingpositive-negative values at the same time pushe theman into a puzzle. The octagon schema put in theside of main roof bar can be evaluated. The graphicharmony of this part is pretty good and symbolizes adeveloped perception. Dovetailed eight-arm-stars area genius. 13The naskh script on the front roof bar is a wonder. Elifand lams (Arabic letters) are supplementary for otherletters’ curves. While Kufic script is surrounding theroof bar like a poem, the roums scattered are the signsfor the development of Turkish Roum Art.130
This marvelous monument Celaleddin Huseyin builtbefore his death is one of the unique Turkish works. Itwas designed as if it was throne of Sultanate and a valuewas engraved in every corner.4.IX. Hasankeyf El-Rizk Mosqoue MinaretMakili scripture,has formed with lines in the horizontaland vertical directions,particularly accomplished withuse of architectural Works.On this occasion,writingvarious religious expressions with Makili scripture,hasgreat significance.For a Muslim, writing the prophet’sblessed name is important and worthy of respect.Keep in mind the unique envoy of creator,faithfuls lookedfor an excuse to recall him at every opportunity.Hereby,commemorate his name at the base of the minaretof a mosqoue is one of the most crucial stepwhile forming different materials on Stones.Aroundthe scripture,circular decorations that is similar to seashells are made,and geometric ornamentation band isplaced at the top of it.Border Stones formed the outerframe of the composition.With all beauty it is one ofthe most important work of our inheritance.5. ConclusionAnalysis of the life and faith , ongoing at least athousand years,is not an easy task.To dominate theworld,lead it,and reflect own values requires a lifetime.Directorshould continous steps not only tokeep own reputability but also prosperity and happinessof his own people.At the same time,maturityof the soul and faith should adapt to sociallife. Whilewar,fight,destruction and defeat occurs,on the otherhand build, re-establish is inevitable.Hadn’t we experienced ‘’ Genghis disaster ‘’ perhapstoday we would have had a richer inheritance.Despiteall the losses,the heritage we had,astonished us andasked us ‘’Where are you? What and How do you live?What are you building and What do you make? Wedon’t know what will be our attitude to this encouragement?How do we deal with this honorable invitations?In this article,we have just discussed a very small partsof a big treasure.It is certain that we will achieve moreif we decide to check our thoughts on art and culturefrom our perspective.In today’s art world,there arelots of projects in architecture,music,illumination,tilesand all fields of arts,though it is debatable whetherthey are satisfied or not.Composition drawing ( I.Ozkececi,20129)Based on the available information and documentsdoes not reflect today’s world since they don’t monitorthe past.It should primarily inspired by the basicprinciples of cultural background and be evaulatedin this context.To evaulate the art just financiallyis away from the art’s own spiritual.It is already groundlessand rootless point of view which do not yield.In today’s art points to more conscious and mighty research.For this reason,art education should be taughtproperly to the actual values.Contemporary Works,which only be seen as a sheetor failed copy of classical architecture,are away fromsocial life. So designed projects on every subject shouldhave a specific function is a requirement of our ancientculture.Furthermore,carrying that spirit,meaningand also feel it again will be a significant diversity.FOOTNOTES: 1) Seen as the main motif rugs and nested square,octagonal and cruciformshapes, Hinduism and Buddhism,emerges as a symbol.

While forming,plain,broken lineswhich pass eachother with closed shapes, plays great role.It is thought that it replacedanimal figures before Islam. Compositions that used six-pointed stars especiallyapplied to many materials besides stone,brick,plaster and tile in architecture.Thismotif,a number of mystical meanings in ancient times, found different meaningsin Judaism,Christianity and Islam. This motif which is commonly used in theOttoman decorations,is today accepted the national and religious identities of Jewishafter the foundation of the Jewish state and thus excluded from the World ofIslam,irregardless of historical background. 12) Aslanapa,Oktay,culture and art of thefirst Muslim Turkish States,the encyclopedia of Turks,binding 6, Yeni Turkiye publications,Ankara 2002,p.16 13) Aslanapa,Oktay,a.g.m,p.15131
