Özet:

The remains discovered after excavation works that went on for a long time at Kubad Abad Palace, located by the Lake Beyşehir and at the foothills of Mount Anamas, shed a light to palace architecture and decorations of the Anatolian Seljuk. One of these remains is stucco. The stucco remains built with casting technique are mainly found at the Big Palace and Small Palace. The most remarkable one is the stucco cabinet on the left of entrance corridor on the Big Palace, probably the Harem area. The in-situ cabinet discovered during the excavation leaded by K. Otto-Dorn seems to have a niche in the form of two shelves placed on top of each other. The cabinet pieces excavated are decorated with peacock, angel and cavalry figures as well as the border ornaments. Elements similar to the parts of this cabinet niche can be seen on the Anatolian Seljuk areas. However, the examples discovered at Kubad Abad are extraordinary because they are in-situ and complete. The Small Palace also has border elements, spandrels and panel pieces similar to the borders of this cabinet niche. Besides, pieces of glass embedded in stucco were found during excavation works at the Small Palace which suggest that stucco meshes were used on the palace windows. The stucco remains discovered after the excavation works at Kubad Abad Palace are similar to the ones found at Konya Alâeddin Mansion and Alanya Palace but they are more detailed and have a plastic effect
