Detail of stone carving on the street façade of the tomb of Turkan Khatun.
View of the street façade of the tomb of Turkan Khatun.

The street façade of this small tomb consists of panels of intricately carved stone panels above a pair of recessed windows divided by a pier. The pier has a dedicatory inscription carved in stone, seen in the center of this photograph.
