Corner Minarets

Muhammad Quli

The accession of this sultan represents a more ambitious phase in architecture and sculpture as represented in his tomb. The elaborate upper wall of this tomb has a projecting cornice containing a central band of cut-out rosettes flanked by simple floral bands. Above this is a high parapet with a row of arched recesses topped by a band of rosettes and trefoil crenellations.
