In addition to these representations of jinn in vicinity to kingship, there were also architectural references to jinn throughout the Islamic world. In the [[Citadel of Aleppo]], the entrance gate Bab al-Hayyat made reference to jinn in the stone relief carvings of serpents; likewise, the water gate at Ayyubid Harran housed two copper sculptures of jinn, serving as talismans to ward off both snakes and evil jinn in the form of snakes.<ref name=Duggan-2018/>{{rp|style=ama|p=408}}

Alongside these depictions of the jinn found at the Aleppo Citadel, depictions of the jinn can be found in the Rūm Seljuk palace. There are a phenomenal range of creatures that can be found on the eight-pointed tiles of the [[Seal of Solomon|Seal of Sulaymān]] device.<ref name=Duggan-2018/>{{rp|style=ama|p=390}} Among these were the jinn, that belonged among Solomon's army and as Solomon claimed to have control over the jinn, so did the Rūm Seljuk sultan that claimed to be the Sulaymān of his time.<ref name=Duggan-2018/>{{rp|style=ama|p=393}} In fact, one of the most common representations of jinn are alongside or in association with King Solomon. It was thought that King Solomon had very close ties to the jinn, and even had control over many of them.<ref name=Duggan-2018>

Given this association, jinn were often seen with Solomon in a princely or kingly context, such as the small, animal-like jinn sitting beside King Solomon on his throne illustrated in an illuminated manuscript of ''[[Aja'ib al-Makhluqat]]'' by [[Zakariya al-Qazwini]], written in the 13th century.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Berlekamp|first=Persis|title=Wonder, Image, & Cosmos in Medieval Islam|publisher=Yale University Press|year=2011|location=New Haven|pages=71}}</ref>
