Nader Shah Afshar




Nader Shah Afshar is among the few post-Islamic Iranian kings who made an attempt for Iran’s independence and solidarity and was successful in doing that. 
The Tomb of Nader Shah is a monument in Naderi Garden Museum in Mashhad which was designed and built by Hooshang Seyhoun in order to commemorate Nader Shah. 
The 6.5-meter-high bronze sculpture of Nader Shah mounted on a horse alongside 3 foot soldiers standing next to the horse was built in Rome, Italy; then it was transferred to Mashhad and placed on its pedestal. The sculpture was designed by Abolhasan Seddighi, and its bronzing was done in Berotti Factory in Italy.


Description
The building was built in an area of ​​14,400 square meters. The tomb of Nader Shah is a building built in the garden of the Naderi Museum in Mashhad, which was designed by Houshang Sihoun to commemorate Nadir Shah Afshar in the solar year 1342. The tomb consists of a twelve-foot platform, a grave site, a tent-tiled tower on the grave, a high-rise platform next to the grave with a statue of Nader Shah, a horse and three others following him, a bookstore and two halls for the museum.
Nader Shah, during his lifetime, ordered the construction of a small shrine above Mashhad Street. This small tomb was built in 1145 AH in the vicinity of Chahar Bagh Shahi and opposite the shrine of Imam Khomeini from clay and mud. In the late Qajar (1296 solar year), Qavam al-Saltanah built a new tomb in the place of a devastated sanctuary and carried his bones from Tehran to the tomb. A new building at the current site of his tomb was set up for a while until the National Iranian Society of Iran in 1335 sought to come up with a suitable tomb of Nadir Shah in the same place as the tomb built in Qawam al-Saltanah. This work began in 1336 and ended in 1342. The new building of the tomb of Nader Shah Afshar was reopened on December 12, 1342 at the initiative of the National Iranian Society of the Narcissus Gardens.
The bronze statue of Nader Shah riding a horse is from the works of Professor Abolhassan Siddiqui, whose casting has been done in Italy. The tomb materials are often made from rough and hard rocky granite of Mashhad. The tomb cover is quite like a nomadic tent, which is rare in that child. The cover of the tomb's interior walls is also selected from Maragheh's outdated marble stones to better convey the murder of Nadir Shah inside the tent.

Naderi Museum of Mashhad:
The Nadir Shah Mausoleum Museum has been constructed of two halls. The first hall is devoted to the weapons of the Afsharian period, the paintings of Nader Shah and the scenes of war, equestrian equipment such as saddles and horse leaves from the Afshariyah to Qajar period, several manuscripts including the history of the Ummahshayeh Naderi and two swords belonging to Nader, dedicated to one word " Al-Sultan Nader "is carved and on the other this poetry is taught: King of kings Nader is the owner of the Quran is the Sultan on the kings of the world. This sword was donated to Moghan Plain in 1148 AH on the day of the rare coronation and was presented to him by the Iranian nation.
The second hall was added to the collection in 1994, in which a variety of coins, utensils and other donated items were displayed from the Safavid period to the contemporary.

The museum is currently managed by the Cultural Heritage Organization. In late 2007, the garden of the rare-earth museum, which was rebuilt on the basis of the new renovation project and the repairs on the interior, was reopened after six months of closure.
