The Baba Hatem Ziyarat, also known as the Mausoleum of Baba Hatim, the Baba Hatim Tomb, the Baba Hatom Ziarat, and the Tomb of Salar Khalil (Salar Kalil, Salar Chalil Sayyid), is an Islamic mausoleum or ziyarat, located outside Imam Sahib, in the Kunduz Province of Afghanistan, a town bordering Tajikistan. The mausoleum complex was completed during the 11th and 12th centuries. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Restoration

The mausoleum was restored between 1978 and 1979 by the Délégation Archéologique Française en Afghanistan and l'Institut Afghan d'Archéologie. Prior to the restorations, the tomb was structurally unstable, with layers of bricks missing from the exterior's upper walls. Excavating the walls to reveal their original height, the restoration team replaced the missing bricks, restoring the exterior's original cubical shape and the four octagonal colonettes embedded at its corners. The dome was reassembled with new mortar, and refinished on the exterior with plaster and pairs of bricks protruding in four concentric rings. The dome's circular and octagonal drums were also reconstructed, and a metal finial placed atop it.
