The plan is irregular because it lies on the hooked street. Beside the entrance, a prayer hall and a tomb chamber remain, with a square minaret raised on a block of masonry between these two adjacent rooms. The door from the entrance to the prayer hall has an unusual bracket (illustration), and both miḥrābs preserve remains of their original plaster decoration.
