Sheikh Shahabdin Ahari Mausoleum

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:27:40

Incorporated into its front iwan (barrel-vaulted hall opening onto the courtyard), one of two giant exterior columns retains the original blue glaze. Inside, beyond displays of Safavid Qurans, candlesticks and keshkul dervish ‘coconut handbags’, is an inner courtyard where the sheikh’s simple black slab tomb lies behind a carved stone perimeter screen. The mausoleum lies in a park 400m south of central Ragaei (Shahid Bajlari) St.
