‘Other arts. Although probably not as varied as architecture,* the other arts of the Seljuq period also underwent tremendous changes. They demonstrate an extraordinary artistic energy,** a widening of the social patronage of the arts, and a hitherto unknown variety*** of topics and modes of expression. It was as though the Seljuq period was gathering a sort of aesthetic momentum,**** but this effort seems to have been curtailed by the Mongol invasion.#

Chronologically, almost all surviving documentation and examples of these arts date from the latter part of the period, after 1150[ce].#** It is unclear whether this apparent date is merely an accidental result what has been preserved and is known through 20th-century scholarship or whether it corresponds to some precise event or series of events.’
