Uzbekistan, Samarkand: detail of ornament over the iwan of the huge Bibi Khanum mosque, completed by Timur (Tamerlaine) in 1404 in honour of his wife. It was one of the largest mosques in the Islamic world, but soon began to crumble, and was finally ruined by an earthquake in 1887. It is in a state of ongoing reconstruction.
