        One of the most important architectural decorative elements of the Ilkhanid period is the stucco decoration. Samples of this decoration could be seen in most of the Ilkhanid structures. The Ilkhanid period in comparison with the other periods, has great importance due to the use of stucco decoration. The Ilkhanid hunting palace at Takht-i Sulaiman is one of the oldest structures of the Ilkhanid period and the only remaining kind of pleasure palace in this period. Among the decorations of the Ilkhanid hunting palaces at Takht-i Sulaiman, there are stamp stucco, stucco relief, and muqarnas which could be seen in the other remaining buildings of the Ilkhanid period, too. Therefore, there is a lot of importance in surveying the stucco decoration of this building carefully, to study the other Ilkhanid buildings and their decoration.
