PunjabTombProtected
The tomb of Musa Ahangar is of importance as the only surviving example of pre-Shahjahani tile work at Lahore. It has four plain centered arches with complete absence of tile mosaic and of colours other than blue and white. Externally, the walls are paneled, containing four-centered arches. On each side, there are four centered doorways but modern conservation works have obscured the original details. Internally, the building is plastered and paneled, with elaborate tracery and arabesques in relief on the panels.
