large number of Early Ottoman buildings in Bursa, in which architectural sculpture elements belonging to the Late Antique and Byzantine periods were reused, have often found a place in research on the use of spolia phenomenon. From the numerous reused marble architectural sculptures and liturgical furnishings elements of various types such as column capitals, shafts and bases, cornice blocks, templon pieces, parapet slabs, and doorframes, only some of the column capitals were included in the publications in detail, while door frames were hardly mentioned. Hüdavendigâr Mosque (1364/1365-1385) in Çekirge, Lala Sahin Pasa Madrasa (first half of the 14th century) in Hisar and Hatice Sultan Tomb (early 16th century) near the Kaplica Bath are the structures with doorframes from the Late Antique and Byzantine periods in Bursa. This study aimed to document the jambs, lintels and lintel crowns in the aforementioned buildings, to evaluate them in detail, especially in terms of moulding profiles, and to offer date suggestions. Twelve moulding profiles, which distinguish from each other with small distinctions were detected in the doorframes, some of them belonging to the 5th and 6th centuries, while others to the Middle and Late Byzantine age. All frames except the jambs and lintel, which are made of rudist limestone of Gebze in Lala Sahin Pasa Madrasa, are made of Proconnesian marble.
