Gol Gumbaz, Decoration
On the exterior of the tomb are triple set of arched recesses like this one. Medallions in the arch spandrels rise on a sinuous bracket. Both medallion and bracket are filled with scrollwork. The rectangular recess above the arch probably held a granite calligraphy slab. Above this the wide eave has lotus brackets. |
