Bursa Green Tomb May 2014 7482.jpg

The semi-umbrella vault that crowns the entry portal to the türbe/mausoleum has been recently repaired.
Prism-shaped triangles connect the semi-circular dome with the walls of the square vestibule. The whole is covered up with glazed tiles and has Iranian looks; not so surprising since the artisans who carried out the work were brought in from Tabriz (Northwestern Iran).
