The surface tower of the tomb was destroyed but the tomb is in good condition. The tomb is of eight pointed inside, and right-angled outside. The Gilan tomb differs from those with the eight-pointed corner in Azerbaijan and neighboring because of its cover and deep niche, which laid face-to-face the entrance door. The ceiling and floor, as well as the wall and central column are plastered with white substance. The destroyed tower left only with small pieces, is built of brick. Despite the fact that there are no inscriptions on the construction period of the tomb, but it is supposed to belong to XII century.
