Piece of marble indicating position of head of Imam Hussain (Peace Be Upon Him)

One of the valuables Imam Hussain Museum has is a piece of marble, which was  – for long  – positioned to the side of the grave where the holy head of Imam Hussain (Peace Be Upon Him) is buried.

Sayyid Ela’ Dheya’ Eddeen – museum director – said, “Where the piece of marble was is most likely a sign indicating the Imam’s holy head. It’s recently been removed due to replacing the old lattice-enclosed tomb with the new one.”

He added that it is now displayed in a glass box at the museum next to the old lattice-enclosed tomb, where the visitors can review it.
