Despite being a nomadic empire, the Akkoyunlu also built massive funerary complexes, similar to the Timurids. The most famous of these is the Uzun Hasan mosque in Tabriz, Iran. The mosque is massive and has similar tilework that the Timurids were known for, with most of it being colored a bright teal. The dome shapes also parallel typical Timurid architecture. The similarity is likely because Timur forced Persian architects and tile-workers to Samarqand to design mosques and tombs for him. The Akkoyunlu, which primarily in Iran, would have probably worked with architects who still continued to use this architectural style and learned about tilework from the artists Timur commissioned.
