Manar-i Masjid-i Jami' (Savah)
Saveh, Iran

The superb, varied bands of raised brick patterns and inscriptions in kufic and naskhi script make this minaret the finest of the Seljuk period still standing. The upper section is missing and the lowest section of the remaining shaft has been restored with plain brick bond.
