This is a beautiful work, obtained with a technique of carving soft stone, the same stone which forms the wall around Dildar's tomb. The tomb is located in Koya, more specifically by the side of its main landmark, the castle. It's accessible whenever the castle is open.

There is an inscription with the name of Dildar and his years of birth and death. He is represented in traditional clothes although he was a sophisticated lawyer shown in pictures in suit and tie.
