description: This photograph of the main entrance to the Tillia Kari Madrasah in Samarkand (Uzbekistan) is from the archeological part of <em>Turkestan Album</em>. The six-volume photographic survey was produced in 1871-72 under the patronage of General Konstantin P. von Kaufman, the first governor-general (1867-82) of Turkestan, as the Russian Empire’s Central Asian territories were called. The album devotes special attention to Samarkand’s Islamic architecture, such as 14th- and 15th-century monuments from the reign of Timur (Tamerlane) and his successors. In the center of Samarkand is the Registan ensemble, composed of three major examples of a <em>madrasah </em>(religious school). The third Registan component, the Tillia Kari Madrasah, was built in 1646-60, on the site of a former <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">caravanserai</u>. The entrance to the rectangular courtyard is framed by a great <em>iwan</em> (vaulted hall, walled on three sides, with one end open), flanked by a two-story arcade with rooms for scholars. This view shows a ceramic panel on the upper part of the left face of the iwan niche. The main part of the panel is recessed within the figure of a pointed arch. The complex surface is covered with polychrome majolica tiles that form intricate geometric and botanical patterns. Above the pointed arch are fragments of an inscription band in a cursive style. The panel is framed by a raised decorative strip with geometric figures that culminates in a larger cursive inscription band. <br>Architectural decorations and ornaments; Inscriptions; Islamic architecture; Madrasahs; Photographic surveys

description: This photograph of a facade detail from the courtyard of the Tillia Kari Madrasah in Samarkand (Uzbekistan) is from the archeological part of <em>Turkestan Album</em>. The six-volume photographic survey was produced in 1871-72 under the patronage of General Konstantin P. von Kaufman, the first governor-general (1867-82) of Turkestan, as the Russian Empire’s Central Asian territories were called.

The third Registan component, the Tillia Kari Madrasah, was built in 1646-60 on the site of a former <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">caravanserai</u>. This view includes the base and part of a column attached to a facade corner on the west side of the inner courtyard. The bulbous base, the column fragments, and the flanking panels are made of carved white marble. After Tamerlane’s campaign in India (1399), marble appeared frequently in Samarkand structures, to which the material gave the lustre of monumentality. A carved inscription band rests above the receding rows of a “stalactite” form of dentilation on both the panels and the column shaft. The upper part of the column fragment displays a pattern of geometric and botanical motifs. <br>Architectural decorations and ornaments; Columns; Islamic architecture; Madrasahs; Photographic surveys

description: This photograph of the interior of the mosque at the Tillia Kari Madrasah in Samarkand (Uzbekistan) is from the archeological part of <em>Turkestan Album</em>. The six-volume photographic survey was produced in 1871-72 under the patronage of General Konstantin P. von Kaufman, the first governor-general (1867-82) of Turkestan, as the Russian Empire’s Central Asian territories were called. The album devotes special attention to Samarkand’s Islamic architecture, such as 14th- and 15th-century monuments from the reign of Timur (Tamerlane) and his successors.

The third Registan component, the Tillia Kari Madrasah, was built in 1646-60 on the site of a former <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">caravanserai</u>. This view, partially underexposed because of limited interior light, shows the lower corner adjacent to the steps to the <em>minbar</em>, or pulpit (to the right; not visible in this photograph). The rich ornamentation shown here includes ceramic work and carved marble. The attached column rests on a marble base and displays a bold pattern of intersecting lines. The dimly visible ceramic panels show intricate geometric and botanical patterns. The projecting rows of the marble cornice at the top of the photograph have a “stalactite” form of dentilation, as does a fragment of the plinth at the lower right. <br>Architectural decorations and ornaments; Islamic architecture; Madrasahs; Photographic surveys
