Comparanda

The Huand Hatun tomb, like most other tombs built in thirteenth-century Anatolia, has an octagonal body and a conical roof. It has some other similarities with other Anatolian funerary structures. The exterior articulation of the Huand Hatun tomb with colonnettes, slightly recessed pointed arches, and small windows placed near the point of the arches recalls the arrangement on the tomb known as the Çifte Kümbet (Melike Adile Türbesi) in Kayseri, dated 645 AH (1247-1248). However, the decoration of the Huand Hatun tomb is richer in detail.  The mihrab, especially the lower part of the niche and the upper surface of muqarnas hood, is decorated with hexagonal motifs similar to those in tilework in the tomb of İzzeddin Keykavus in Sivas.

Probably the most striking characteristic of the Huand Hatun tomb is its marble base which is composed of five rows of muqarnas cells. The base of the Hüdavend Hatun tomb in Niğde, dated 712 AH (1312-1313), is also decorated with muqarnas but only along its upper edge.
