Kündekâri, an important woodwork technique, is made by combining small wooden pieces in geometrical shapes to create larger surface areas. It was applied in Fatımi and Memluk artworks after the 12th century, but the richest examples occur in Anatolian Seljuk and Ottoman arts. Most often used for window shutters, door wings, lecterns and minbars, the best examples that still exist are the minbars of Siirt Great Mosque, Konya Alaettin Mosque, Manisa Great Mosque and Bursa Great Mosque.

Ahşap işçiliğinin en önemli tekniklerinden biri olan kündekâri, geometrik biçimlerde kesilmiş küçük ahşap parçaların, büyük bir yüzey oluşturmak üzere birbirine geçmeli olarak birleştirilmesidir. 12. yüzyıldan sonra Fatımi ve Memluk sanatlarında uygulanmış, en zengin örnekleri ise Anadolu Selçuklu ve Osmanlılarda görülmüştür. Pencere kapakları, kapı kanatları, vaaz kürsüleri ve özellikle minberlerde kullanılan bu tekniğin en güzel örnekleri arasında Siirt Ulu Camii, Konya Alaettin Camii, Manisa Ulu Camii ve Bursa Ulu Camii minberleri bulunmaktadır.

Islamic art refers to the visual arts that were produced in the Islamic world, which encompasses a vast geographical area stretching from Spain and North Africa in the west to Central Asia and India in the east. Islamic art is characterized by its focus on religious themes and its emphasis on the representation of spiritual truths. Islamic art is also known for its distinctive aesthetic features, including the use of calligraphy, geometric patterns, and arabesque designs. Islamic art covers a wide range of media, including architecture, painting, calligraphy, ceramics, and textiles. In the narrowest sense, the arts of the Islamic peoples might be said to include only those arising directly from the practice of Islam. More commonly, however, the term is extended to include all of the arts produced by Muslim peoples, whether connected with their religion or not. In this article, the subject includes the arts created in pre-Islamic times by Arabs and other peoples in Asia Minor and North Africa who eventually adopted the Islamic faith.
