The Imamzade Pandsche Shah ( Persian امامزاده پنجه شاه Emamsade Pandsche Shah , [ ɛmɑmzɑdɛ pænd͡ʒɛ ʃɑh ]) is an Imamzade in the Iranian city of Kashan . The Imamzade has been a sacred place since the early Islamic centuries. It was also one of the safest sanctuaries in the past and if a criminal sought refuge there, no one dared bring him out by force. The Imamzade Pandsche Shah is from the Seljuk era, but its interior decorations mostly belong to the Qajar era. This building is probably the tomb of the son of Mūsā ibn Jaʿfar al-Kāzim . It has a conical dome , a courtyard, an Ivan , several porticos and a large wooden tomb .
There is a minaret by the north entrance of the courtyard. The small entrance to the tomb has a marble inscription . An ode in praise of the buried Imamzades can be read on the inscription .
There are also other ancient tombs under construction. Two of these are on either side of the north portico. It is said that one of the graves is the grave of the daughter of Malik al-Ashtar , Safie Chatun.
