The echoes of the “Tile-maçin Tile” exhibition at the Kenan Yavuz Culture House and Ethnography Museum continue. Art historian Cansen Bekleriz, who visited the exhibition in Beşpınar, said that the exhibition, which combines the first written tombstones of Turks in Central Asia with “balbal” and Anatolian Seljuk tile motifs, has an important place in terms of Turkish Art History.

Describing the exhibition at Kenen Yavuz Culture House and Ethnography Museum as “a very well thought out idea”, Bekliiz expressed his thoughts on the exhibition as follows:

“The homeland of Turks is Central Asia. The first written gravestones of Turks in Central Asia are called ‘balbal’ and these are obelisks as we see here. Later, when the Turks came to Anatolia, they met with tile during the Seljuk period. And especially animal and human motifs tiles were used abundantly during the Seljuk Sultan Alaatin Keykubat period. And so it was a very good idea to combine and exhibit the first written obelisks ‘balbal’ of the Turks and Anatolian Seljuk tile motifs here; I really like.”
