Information:

The "Albanian chest stone" located in the Narimanli village cemetery is 30 cm thick, 80 cm high, 2.5 m long, an eagle on the head, and a caravan of horses and camels on the sides. At the beginning of the 1920s, Seyyed Rahim, who read an old tombstone inscribed with Arabic alphabet in the west of the cemetery, stated that this grave belongs to the war­lord Shahsuvar Shahbalad, who became shahid in the battles of 1112 Hijri, and to keep his spirit alive, he gave his son Shahsuvar (1928-2000), and his grand­son Shahbalad (1982-1994) names. The chest stone was placed above the passage outside the cemetery. The protection of this stone was provided by Seyid Rahim Mashadi Mehdi oghlu (1904-1974), the owner of people’s place of pilgrimage and religious mystic sacred place.

The Albanian chest stone was placed on the passage outside the cemetery, un­der which tho­se with in­ten­tions, pra­yers, fears and longing for children were passed.
