Ceramic Works in Sahip Ata Foundation Museum

Abstract

Konya Sahip Ata Social Complex is one of the most outstanding monuments that have reached today with both the architectural structure and the works it contains. We started our research with a general information about Sahip Ata Social Complex and Hankah section and continued with examination of ceramic works that are being exhibited in hankah section of the complex. The repairs, techniques and applied motives of the ceramics are mentioned. There are other artefacts in Hankah than ceramic artefacts however, only the ceramic artefacts have been dealt with in order to limit the matter and make examinations in detail. Ceramic artefacts that are believed to belong to the Seljuk period continue to be exhibited in the sahip ata hankah (foundation museum) section. Such studies must be given importance in order to examine and document the art of Turkish tiles and to make them accessible. For this reason, the ceramic artefacts exhibited at Sahip Ata Foundation Museum in Konya province have been identified as research subjects.
