Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse(ceiling)

(from the restaurant's brochure):

The teahouse interior is elaborately decorated. The ceiling and soffit were carved and painted by hand by forty artisans in Tajikistan, using no power tools. The ceiling shows an interesting combination of contemporary Soviet art style with traditional Persian mediums.

 

The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse was constructed in Dushanbe, Tajikistan and given to its sister city Boulder, Colorado. The teahouse was deconstructed and shipped in crates to Boulder where it was reassembled. Today, its a unique, privately-owned restaurant that serves over 100 teas and a fusion menu of foods/recipes from many parts of the world.
