Five of the balustrade panels the hünkâr mahfili (an ornate private worship balcony devoted to the sultan) of the Sivas Divriği Great Mosque had been taken under protection in the Yenikapı Mevlevihane (the lodge used by the Mevlevi dervishes) in Istanbul. While the panels were thought to be burned during the fire in 1997 in Mevlevihane, it was later discovered that they were actually stolen. After long-drawn out efforts, one of the panels found in New York was brought to Turkey on 29 April 1999 and the other panel found in London on 9 May 1999. The Great Mosque of Divriği and Hospice complex was built by Ahmet Shah of the House of Mengüjeck (an Anatolian beylik of the first period) and his wife Turan Melik Sultan in 1228-29. In the section where the eastern nave of the mosque meets the south wall, there is a hünkar mahfili where the wooden panels belong. The wooden panels adorning the balustrade of the sultan’s balcony were made of walnut wood. In the panels, there are compositions of palmette and rumi patterns coming from a crescent created with openwork woodwork technique. Textures and smaller floral motifs are carved over the floral motifs with a cut out technique called openwork. Divriği Sahan was designed by drawing inspiration from floral motifs and borders present on three of the wood panels. Divriği Sahan is produced from handmade glass and all of the relief patterns are decorated with 24-carat gold, glass paint and antiquated paints.
