The doppelganger windows of sliced stone are imprinted in manner of a tree with palm leaves and coiled tendrils. This mosque is an exquisite and first-class instance of superb carving that changes mineral (stone) into filigree.

The back wall of the Sidi Sayiad’s Mosque is plugged with square stone pricked panels in geometrical patterns. The two bays contiguous the central gangway have reticulated stone slabs imprinted again in motifs of entwined trees and flora of the Kalpa tree, a palm; a Hindu motif; and parasite motif. In former times, this elite Sidi Sayiad’s Mosque was the inseparable part of the city wall, but now lies in the close proximity to the river end of Relief Rd.
