Notes
A tombstone in the form of a column with a square section, surmounted by a turban containing three blocks and a ribbon indicating the rank of the deceased. Two inscriptions in relief in cursive letters were carved on two of the facades of the stele, distributed in six lines, separated by lines on which the testimony was engraved: “There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God.”; On the other hand, the two side facades were decorated with a floral decoration. It is noted that the turban placed above the pillar indicates that the deceased held a distinguished position in society. The evidence indicating martyrdom was placed on the grave from the side of the deceased’s head. Those indicating his name and date of death are placed on the side of the feet.
