The grave of Mohammad Ghaffari, one of Iran’s greatest painters in the last century and the most influential figure in contemporary art history is near the shrine of the famous Persian poet Sheikh Attar Neyshaburi in Nishapur, Khorasan Razavi Province. This mausoleum is located on Erfan Street of Shadiyakh Neighborhood in a large and green garden. The overall form, along with decorations and tiles, has a lot of similarities and harmonies with the shrine of Sheikh Attar, so that everyone imagines that the two buildings are the same at the time of entering the garden. The peak of architectural creativity is seen in the use of elements of traditional Iranian architecture in a new and concise synthesis in Kamal al-Molk Tomb. Geometry has a prominent role in the creation of Kamal al-Molk's Tomb just like the Tomb of Omar Khayyam. There are six arches in semicircle form and four crossed arcs on the diagonals and two shorter arches that are originally enclosed by cross-arches at the bottom of the main arch. The decorations used in this building include mosaic tiles that artistic designs are applied on the curved surface of the facade and these motifs become smaller toward the line of symmetry of arches. According to Hooshang Seyhoun, the architecture of this building reminds us of the architecture of Kamal-ol-Molk's hometown in Kashan. The outstanding pattern of Kamal-ol-Molk was designed and painted by a student of this painter, Abolhassan Sadighi, in the upper part of the Kamal-ol-Molk headstone that is elevated and angled. You can visit the shrine of Sheikh Attar Neyshaburi, right next to Kamal al-Molkk Tomb and the Tomb of Omar Khayyam located two kilometers from the building, after visiting this monument. Book Nishapur tour and Iran tour through Alaedin Travel to explore this tomb and visit the beautiful decorations used in it.
