The product of high artistic thinking, the monument of unique beauty and elegance – Momuna khatun tomb

One of the unique monuments of Azerbaijani architecture is Momuna khatun tomb. This monument was built in 1186 by the outstanding architect Ajami Abubakr oghlu Nakhchivani. Momuna khatun is one of the diplomat women in Azerbaijan. She was the bulwark of her husband and children in the foreign and domestic policies of the Atabeyler state. According to this loyalty, her husband Shamsaddin Eldaniz decided to build a magnificent mausoleum on her grave. In 1175 the mausoleum was laid. After the death of Shamsaddin Eldaniz Atabey, the construction of the mausoleum was completed by their son Mohammed Jahan Pahlavan.

PhD in History, Musa Guliyev, in his article "On the investigations carried out on Momuna khatun tomb" writes that this monument is the product of elegance and high artistic thinking. That is why it can keep the watchers in its attraction. Because, the tomb has the unity of artistry and mathematical thinking. Geometric ornaments on the monument were engraved with great skill. You can not keep yourself not to admire the accuracy of the architectural division of the lines separating the outer surfaces. Architect Ajami, who built the tomb, adapted the Kufic line inscriptions to complex patterns reminiscent of geometrical systems. All this can make the general composition of the monument attractive to the audience. One of these kufic inscriptions leads us to the twentieth century: “We pass away, but only the wind is left behind us. We die, but only a work is left as a present”.
