Show morePhotographs show 16th century architecture in old Tashkent, such as the Madrasah of Barakhan, part of the Hazrati Imam complex in the old city of Tashkent (1), the Muyi Muborak Madrasah (2), literally the “school of the sacred hair”. The origin of the name relates to a relic attribute to the prophet Muhammad. It is in fact believed that the museum contains a hair strand belonging to the prophet Muhammad himself. Originally built as a khanqah (that is building designed specifically for gatherings of a Sufi brotherhood) for the dervishes, the building was also intended to give shelter to pilgrims. Photographs also show vegetation of the architectural complex of Sheihantaur (3). Around the mausoleum of the 14th-century Sufi saint Sheikh Hovendi at-Tahur there was a whole grove of saurs, a local variety of coniferous tree, which were already lifeless in the 15th century. Finally, one photo (4) shows a watermill in an area of old Tashkent called Chukur-Kupruk. Date from item, title devised by Library staff.
