Panel fragment | V&A Search the Collections
Panel fragment, ca. 1358 (made). Fragment of a panel of yellowish sandstone, modelled with a countersunk design and covered with enamel colours, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, about 1358. From the tomb of Bayan-Quli Khan (d. 1358) at Fathabad.. Museum Number 569-1900.
Fragments from the Tomb of Buyanquli Khan
This is in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. At Bukhara in Uzbekistan, a magnificent domed mauseleum was erected over the grave of a Muslim descendant of Genghis Khan. In 1358 he was assassinated. The building was covered in these glazed tiles inside and out. I can only imagine what the original structure looked like completely covered in these stunning tiles. I silod them out and put the on black myself. They were hanging up on a while wall.
