text: A zarih or ḍarīḥ is a lattice structure which usually encloses a grave in a mosque or an Islamic shrine. In some cases, it can also surround a religious relic on display. A zarih is built by skilled craftsmen. It can be made out of metals such as silver, or it can be made of wood. The structures can be the size of a small room. Notable zarih can be found in the Imam Husayn Shrine, the mosque of Imam Ali, and the Shrine of Abdul Qadir al-Jilani.
