2015-18 Survey

This is preserved in a park together with a wall mosque. The exterior has been repaired with a reddish stucco. The interior has barely been touched, and some of the white stucco has fallen off. The wall mosque is neglected; the stucco seen in 1959-62 on its west (back) surface has mostly fallen off.

[現状]壁モスクとともに公園内のモニュメントとして保存され、外観全体に赤色スタッコで修復される。内部はほとんど手をつけておらず、白色スタッコの剥落も各所に認められる。壁モスクの西背面のスタッコは、1959-62年に現存したものもほとんど剥落し、放置されている。

[平面]Monuments of Delhiによると、外形5.3m四方。4角形の壁式ドーム建築で、ミフラーブ面以外の3方を開口する。

[外観]幅に対して高さが低く、ドラムを持たない。入口アーチを囲む枠を分節して突出させる点はT9と共通する。外観ドームの断面形は4心アーチで、頂部飾の下のコーニスの立方体を繰り返す帯文様などが同時代の壁式ドーム建築と異なる。すぐ西側に付設建築としての壁モスクをもつ点も特有である。

[内観]スクインチ・アーチで8角形を導き、隅部の立方体持送で円形を導き、ドームをのせる。

[Plan] According to Monuments of Delhi, external dimensions 5.3m square; four-sided walled dome structure, open on three sides except on the mihrab face.

[Exterior] It is low in height relative to its width and has no drum. It shares with T9 the segmental projection of the frame surrounding the entrance arch. The cross-sectional shape of the exterior dome is a four-centred arch, and differs from the wall dome buildings of the same period in the repeating cube band pattern of the cornice below the apex ornament. It is also unique in that it has a walled mosque as an annex immediately to the west.

[Interior view] The squinch arch leads to an octagonal shape, and the corner cubic balustrade leads to a circular shape, on which the dome is placed.
