The tomb located in the center of Kırşehir province was commissioned by his wife in the name of Melik Muzaffereddin Behram Şah of the Mengüçük Oğulları between 1240-1250. The tomb has an octagonal body on a square base with chamfered corners. Triangular chamfers were used in the transition to the cylindrical conical roof. With these chamfers, the tomb was given the appearance of a tent, and it is one of the examples that strengthen the argument that Turkish tomb architecture was influenced by the tent art of Central Asia, and even that the origin of tombs is Central Asian Art.
