Notes	In 1943, while a grave pit was to be excavated on the market side of Kırşehir's large cemetery, an old stone with inscriptions was pulled out from a depth of about one meter; "This stone is used today as the stone of the same new grave." As we learn from the inscription on it, the stone was built for a woman named Celal Hatun in 713. On the face of the stone, a picture of this woman is depicted in a flat relief. Especially her sitting position is very typical: As we witness in Iranian and Uyghur works of art from the same age, the woman is sitting kneeling.
