Qasim Barid II
This tomb built in the late 16th century reverts to the earlier scheme of double tiers of arched recesses flanking the central high arch. All arches have sharply defined flower motifs at the apex and roundels in the spandrel. Small arched recesses are also positioned along walls of entrance way. The parapet has trefoil crenellations while the dome is raised on a drum with a row of arched recesses.
