There were lots of works with the quality of masterpieces that indicated the activities related with the art and public works in the period of the Turkish domination in the Middle Ages. However, we cannot list all the works of art such as architectural buildings, epitaphs, calligraphy, gilding, ornamentation, miniature, tile making, carpets and rugs, etc. that had the quality of masterpieces. As stated in our resources and by several travellers since the period of Nâsir-i Hüsrev (died in 1061) until the recent times, there were thousands of works of arts that were widespread within an wide geography extending from the borders of China towards the Mediterranean Sea, from Oguz steppe lands towards the central regions of India and Egypt. In this geography, there were thousands of palaces, mosques, small mosque, charitable establishments, inns, public baths, hospitals, Muslim theological schools, convents, mausoleums, vaults, water-tanks, fountains, public fountains, castles, city walls, and coffin sarcophagi that were very beautiful and mostly covered with colourful Scriptures and additionally, decorated with fine gilding and tiles. As it can be understood from the designs over the Turkmen coins in Anatolia, the gold and the medallion that was arranged as a souvenir of the ceremony on the occasion of the enthronement of Sultan Tugrul Bey who put on crown and sword in Baghdad were the rare models of the embossed design art of Seljuk period that visualised the palace life in Rey. The Oguz music that was known to have close relations with Uighur Turkish music developed in three branches in Transoxania, Azerbaijan and Anatolia in the further periods and it expanded towards the regions under the domination of Turks.
In these Turkish states, the most elegant works had been obtained pertaining to the fields of masonry (for example; Ahlat masonry that developed as a schools in nearly the entire Anatolia), jewellery, ornamental inlaying, copper-plating, production of armours, belts, shields, and enamel-glass, the ceramics, the textile of woollen, cotton, and velvet fabrics, carpet business and metal casting. All these elegant works still constitute the most favourite works of Turkish museums and the museums in the world.
