This print showcases the magnificent Dner Kmbet, a mausoleum located in Kayseri, Turkey. The structure is adorned with a cone-shaped roof and was built as a tribute to Princess Sah Cihan Hatun. Its architectural beauty and historical significance make it an iconic landmark in the region. The photograph, taken by Pietro Ronchetti in 1976, captures the essence of this ancient mausoleum that dates back to 1275. The image allows us to appreciate the intricate building elements and decorative sections of the Dner Kmbet. The dome and cupola stand tall against the sky, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship. One cannot help but notice the detailed frieze that adorns its exterior walls, depicting scenes from a time long gone. This low relief sculpture tells stories of an era rooted in Asia's first and second millenniums.
