Abdulaziz Khan Madrassa#3 - Uzbekistan 2012

In the ancient city of Bukhara.

 

Carved tiles, relief majolica, different types of stone, marble and plaster molding, many elements are decorated with gold. Each element is striking in its unusual structure or execution. The ornament of the madrasah consists of images of flowers, animals, birds, trees, and dragons. It also goes against the traditional ornament. This suggests that Abdulaziz-Khan actively supported trade and cultural relations with all states involved in the route of the Silk Road.
