Like the inner space, the outer volume of the mausoleum is one whole, the transitional strip between the body and the dome cover is practically absent. All sides of the body are lined with large, well-hewn stone slabs. The square capitals of the columns, covered with carved decorations, rest against the cornice. The front door is located on the north side of the building. The top of the doorway is covered with a solid architrave stone, which is shaped like a pointed arch. Traces of the hewn figure of a horseman are marked inside its border. A number of details of the monument are similar to the ones of the tombs in the village of

Another interesting feature of the mausoleum is that a rearing figure of a bull, made with a great expression, is inscribed in the tympanum of its decorative lancet arch. On the sides of the entrance, decorated on the both parts with a ribbon ornament of rosettes, there are also images of bulls,
