Description
The mausoleum is located on the territory of the necropolis, 45 m southwest of the khanaka of Ahmed Yassawi. The mausoleum is in ruins. The ground part of the mausoleum is almost completely lost, but the crypt has been preserved in satisfactory condition. Four low wall-mounted pointed arches hold the low dome of the crypt. The walls of the aboveground part also rested on the same arches. The entrance to the crypt is made by means of a low opening covered by a pointed arch from the south-eastern side. The interior of the crypt is not plastered. The nameless mausoleum is an interesting architectural monument of the Middle Ages, a valuable object of the necropolis.
