The Dört Ayak (Four-Footed) Tomb is dated to the mid-14th century, the Eretnid period. Since it has no inscription, its exact construction date cannot be determined, but its plan type points to this period. The structure consists of two sections running north-south. To the north is an iwan covered with a pointed barrel vault, and to the south is a baldachin-style tomb resting on four piers. A rectangular window was opened in the middle of the iwan's eastern and western walls, while its southern facade was left open and integrated with the baldachin section.
