Mausoleums of Akstyubinsk region.

The mausoleum of Omar Tamy is located on the necropolis of Pusyrmanmola, 3 kilometers from the right, main (southern) bank of the Irgiz River, 4.5 kilometers south and slightly east of the Shenbertal village, 13 kilometers north-west from the village of Zhanys bi and 70, 1 km to the west and slightly north of the administrative center in the Irgiz region - the village of Irgiz in the southeastern part of the Aktobe region.
The mausoleum was built in the middle of the XIXth century by the national master Yrsham from the shekta clan.
This is a centric, sub-square domed structure with a slightly marked southeastern facade. The monument is built of adobe baked bricks. In the composition and sub-dome structures of the mausoleum, the features of the architectural influence of the Balgasyn complex are traced: the opposition of a squat four-piece and a drum resting on it with a sphero-conical dome, a tiered system of transition from a square to a circle of the dome.
The dome is laid out using the false vault technique. In the southeastern wall, a hiding place was arranged, into which a small arched passage 0.3 meters high leads.
