The courtyard contains a fine example of what is probably an 18th century Bakhtiari Lion, used by this tribe to mark the graves of great men. The Lion is decorated with inscriptions and insignia of the man whose grave it marks and a face has been placed in the mouth of the lion. It is excellently preserved and compares well with another in the courtyard of the Darb-e-Imam.
Considerable restoration work is taking place inside the shrine.
