The tomb, which is open to visitors today, belongs to the Ottoman Period as understood from its inscription, and was built in 1603. The monumental building is located in a garden surrounded by a wall. The building consists of a square planned entrance and a tomb with a sarcophagus. The portal of the building is round arched and decorated with circular motifs. There are calligraphy decorations in a rectangular plate in the arch part of the door, where the passage to the tomb section is provided. On the north, south and west façade walls of the tomb section, there are small windows in round arched niches and decorations with verses on these windows. There are hand-drawn ornaments adorned with floral motifs on the dome and walls, and star motifs on the squinches.
