This structure has an ASI cultural asset signboard. In 1959-62, the south side was closed, but it is now open. There is filler in the stonework, and surfaces were covered with stucco during repairs. The building has since been neglected; it is buried further underground compared to 1959-62, and there is water collecting inside.
[現状]ASIの指定文化財の看板が立つ。1959-62年には南面をとじるが、現在は開口し、石の間に充填剤を注入され、修理が施され、その際にスタッコも上塗りされた。その後、放置されたままで、1959-62年よりもさらに土に埋もれ、内部には水がたまる。
[平面]西をミフラーブとし、3方を開口する壁式ドーム建築。
[外観]4面の中央部を突出させ、高さもわずかに立上げる。南面出窓上部にも頂部飾をつけ、宝形屋根をのせる。開口部のアーチ内に梁柱を用い、西面に開口部はないが中央に小アーチを穿つ。壁面上に多弁形アーチ、8角ドラムにアーチ形頂部飾を回し、釣鐘状のドームをのせ、頂部の蓮弁も大きい。
[内観]スクインチ・アーチで8角形を導き、16連のアーチで16角形とし、その上に5層の薄い帯を重ね、ドームをのせる。スクインチ・アーチの下、開口部アーチの両側にはアーチ型をへこませる。ミフラーブにはスクインチ・アーチと同高のアーチを用い、繁縟な浮彫装飾を施す。南面開口部の両端の壁に階段を穿ち、出窓をもつ。

[Plan] A wall-type dome building with a mihrab on the west side and openings on three sides.
[Exterior] The central sections of the four sides protrude and are slightly raised. A capstone is attached to the top of the south-facing bay window, and a nave roof is placed on top. Beams and columns are used within the arches of the openings, and while there is no opening on the west side, there is a small arch in the center. Multi-petaled arches are placed on the walls, and an octagonal drum is surrounded by an arched capstone, topped by a bell-shaped dome with large lotus petals at the top.
[Interior] An octagon is formed by a squinch arch, followed by a 16-sided polygon with five layers of thin bands on top, and then a dome is placed on top. Beneath the squinch arch, there are recessed arches on both sides of the opening arch. The mihrab uses an arch of the same height as the squinch arch and is decorated with lavish reliefs. There are steps cut into the walls on both ends of the opening on the south side, and bay windows.
