Geometric patterns of the Konya Sultanate

Very few monuments have survived from the first two (11th–12th) centuries of the art of Islamic geometric ornamentation. The reason for this is the relative fragility of the used materials, and invasions and wars with their destruction. Compared to the previous era, the numerous surviving stone buildings of the 13th century in the Konya Sultanate provide a wealth of material for the study and classification of geometric ornamental patterns, dating back to previous centuries and invented by geometers and architects of that time.
