Information about the Building
Begun in 828 AH/1425 AD.
A stucco and glass window published by Émile Prisse d’Avennes (1869–1877, vol. 3, pl. CXLV) was probably removed from this mosque. Photographs in the K.A.C. Creswell Collection (c.1930) show the building with missing windows (https://www.archnet.org/sites/2219, ICR0895, ICR0897).
