“If you follow the ancient maps written on the stars, no person will ever understand you. So if you could read these maps, would you follow them? And forever be misunderstood? Or would you close your eyes tightly and pretend to be like everyone else?”

On the wall of the portal niche there are two square bricks with inscription in Arabic letters and ornaments made with vegetable colors.
Epigraphy is poorly preserved (not decrypted). The northern, western and eastern facades are decorated with curly herringbone brickwork. Entrance aperture - lancet form. The transition from the square plan to the circle of the dome was carried out through the installation of corner niches.

The remaining three facades are similar to the portal frieze, as well as a decorative texture from masonry to the Christmas tree.

One of the best examples of the XIX century in Central Kazakhstan. The mausoleum of Konuspai-Labak was built in 1874. In 1982, the Labak Mausoleum was included in the list of historical and cultural monuments of the Kazakh SSR of republican significance and taken under state protection.
In the summer of 1975, he was examined by an expedition of the Ministry of Culture of the Kazakh SSR (M. Mamanbaev, M. Nurkabaev, M. Sembin). In the necropolis, where the Konuspai-Labaka mazar is located, there is a dilapidated mausoleum “Kishkentai” (XVIII century), covered with a carpet pattern.
