During restoration work at the eastern entrance of the Jameh Mosque in Nimvar, a historic city in central Iran, a stone inscription from the Ilkhanid era was uncovered. The artifact, made of white travertine, measures approximately 85 by 34 centimeters and is 10 centimeters thick. It features eight lines of carved text.

Preliminary analysis indicates that the inscription may represent a stone endowment deed, according to a local official. However, further examination by epigraphists and researchers will be necessary to determine the full content and significance of the text.

The inscription is dated to 764 AH according to the Islamic calendar, which aligns with the year 742 in the Iranian calendar, situating it firmly within the Ilkhanid period. Scholars suggest that this find could yield new insights into Nimvar's historical, cultural, religious, and architectural heritage.

Nimvar is located in Mahallat County within Markazi Province and is recognized as one of Iran’s ancient settlements. The city's history extends back to the Parthian and Sasanian eras, and it was historically an important center for Zoroastrianism. The discovery of this stone inscription adds to the understanding of Nimvar’s role across various periods in Iranian history.
