(Sitti Radviye) Bath, which is one of the most significant examples of Artuklu bath architecture, is dated as the end of XII century and beginning of XIII considering Sitti Radiye (Hatuniye) Madrassa’s epigraph that is next to the Bath. Five plastic ornaments with figure stone are remarkable there. These are listed as; a broken lion figure on the surrounding wall, which has been built later, of the bath that lost its original characteristics because of the repairs and two lion figures located left side of the door that is entry to lukewarmness and two peacocks located on two stones in the furnace part.
