In the central part of the modern Taraz City in the Zhambyl region, there is a mausoleum of Dauytbek Shamansur.

Among the local population, it is a monument of architecture it is most of all known under the name of the mausoleum of Shamansur.

In 9 — 10 centuries Rabad becomes the center of the economic and political life of the east feudal city. At 11-12 centuries when the Mongolian deputy has been buried his mausoleum was in the center of the ancient medieval city.
The architectural monument presents itself the mausoleum executed in the form of a portal and dome construction square in the plan and constructed of a burned brick. The portal is low, smooth with two small turrets on the parties. The portal is closely brought closer to a dome part of the mausoleum. Doors of the mausoleum are decorated with a fancy east ornament. The basis for a stocky dome is arches and walls of the mausoleum. In the center of the internal room, there is a gravestone in the form of a stone step pyramid. All structure of the mausoleum is put from the flat burned brick. The architect and the builder are unknown.
The mausoleum has taken the modern form in the second half of the 19th century as a result of numerous reorganizations and recovery work. With high probability originally, the mausoleum had an appearance of a small construction of rotond type on to which four semicircular arches the dome stuck. Arches leaned on the stone base put from plates.

Bartold and in 1939 the academician A.M. Belenitsky. At the literary translation on the modern language, the inscription sounds as: "The dead owned a sword and a feather.
