Bands of relief sculpture decorated the door. A pillared porch at the western facade was destroyed by an earthquake in 1841. Armenian inscriptions were placed in the interior, on the western facade, and on the exterior of the dome, while wall paintings added in the 1680s by the Armenian poet and painter, Naghash Hovnatan, adorned the dome.
