Rukhabad Mausoleum, Islamic mausoleum in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
The cubic structure with a spheroconical dome features three identical entrances and stands 24 meters tall without the typical entrance portal of Timurid architecture.
Built in 1380 under Amir Timur's orders, the mausoleum houses the remains of Sheikh Burhaneddin Sagaradzhi, an Islamic theologian who spread Islam in Eastern Turkestan.
The mausoleum contains simple tombstones marking the burial sites of Sheikh Burhaneddin Sagaradzhi, his wife, and their nine children within its walls.
The interior decoration consists of minimal elements, including a two-meter ceramic plate in the foundation and a narrow band of glazed bricks.
A copper box containing seven hairs from Prophet Muhammad's beard resides within the bricks of the mausoleum's dome according to local accounts.
