Minarets are among the most significant architectural relics of the Seljuk period in Iran, which, in addition to their religious functions, also played a symbolic role. Among these, the decoration of "Amud-e Kashi," i.e., the attachment of glazed tiles to the body of minarets, held a special place in the aesthetic and cultural expression of that era. This research, with a historical-comparative approach, identifies and classifies the Amud-e Kashi decorations on 22 inscribed Seljuk minarets and analyzes the type of tilework, color, script, and its combination with brick. The findings indicate that the greatest use of tilework was in the areas of the inscription and the crown of the minarets, and turquoise color, as a symbol of the sky and Islamic spirituality, had the highest frequency. Furthermore, the combination of geometric brick patterns and tilework not only aided in the decoration of the structure but also increased its durability against environmental factors. This study emphasizes that a precise understanding of these decorations can inspire the restoration process and contemporary Islamic architectural design.
