Palace and Mosque at Ukhaidir

Note 48 — Chapter III · QAṢR-I-SHÎRÎN

Reading edition

In the palace of Firûzâbâd the dome is of stone, but at Sarvistân it is of brick. The construction of the squinches at Chehâr Qapû is not like that of the Firûzâbâd squinches, but it is exactly similar to the Sarvistân work. Dieulafoy, L’Art antique de la Perse, vol. iv, Plates 5 and 14. Sarvistân is much nearer in date to Chehâr Qapû, see below, p. 92.
