the Maghreb, with a main shaft topped by a smaller "lantern" or turret. The top of the minaret was rebuilt at a later period. Like the Ben Salah minaret, each of the four façades of the tower's main shaft is mostly covered by an interlacing sebka motif (a lobed lozenge-like or "net"-like pattern), carved into the brick surface. Below this sebka zone, on the street-facing side of the minaret, is a lower zone of decoration set around a small window, situated above eye level. This decorative composition is more complex and once again resembles a similar composition found on the lower façades of the Ben Salah minaret. The small window has a trilobed shape and is framed by a blind lambrequin arch, which in turn is framed by a small rectangular alfiz. Above this is a small Square Kufic composition containing a eulogical inscription, flanked by two eight-pointed stars. Some faience decoration was once also included in the spandrels around the window. Around and above this is a much larger decorative composition consisting of a blind multifoil arch, with a horseshoe shape, nested under a plain semi-circlular blind arch, between which runs a sebka pattern radiating outwards from the center. This in turn is framed by another rectangular alfiz, with the spandrels filled with another sebka motif.
