Description
The construction is part of the now lost ancient urban development. In terms of plan, the object is a one-room square building with an aivan. The ceiling height of the mosque is about four meters. In the center is an octagonal column supporting the roof. The roof itself is flat, with a vassal structure and earthen covering. The color scheme of the building is very interesting. The main color of the interior is dark brown; against this background, polychrome drawings with a plant theme are extremely expressive.
The decoration of the mihrab has been lost, the mihrab niches are painted with images of pomegranate bushes with pairs of doves.
The building of the mosque was first restored in 1980. The re-restoration was carried out in 2000. Now the building of the mosque is part of the museum exposition.
