Minarets are among the most important architectural relics of the Seljuk period in Iran, which, in addition to their religious functions, also played a symbolic role. Among them, the “Amud Kashi” decorations, i.e. the addition of glazed tiles to the body of the minarets, had a special place in the aesthetic and cultural expression of that era. This study, with a historical-comparative approach, identified and classified the Amud Kashi decorations in 22 Seljuk inscribed minarets and analyzed the type of tiling, color, line, and how it was combined with brick. The findings show that the most common use of tiling was in the inscription and crown areas of the minarets, and the turquoise color, as a symbol of the sky and Islamic spirituality, was the most common. Also, the combination of geometric brick and tile motifs not only contributed to the decoration of the structure, but also increased its stability against environmental factors. This study emphasizes that accurate recognition of these decorations can be inspiring in the process of restoration and design of contemporary Islamic architecture.
