The archaeological material from the ruins of the Paikend site

A member of the Turkestan Circle of Amateur Archaeologists L. A. Zimin made the excavations for 26 days in the spring and summer of 1914. 

As a result, the Tashkent Museum replenished its numerous and varied archaeological material of the 9th – 12th centuries, which is currently included in the collection inventory No. 178. Of particular interest among the found artifacts is a vessel in the shape of a flask decorated with carved ornaments.

You can learn more about this topic in the book-album “The Collection of the State Museum of the History of Uzbekistan” (part one) (Volume XXVI) from the series "Cultural Legacy of Uzbekistan in the World Collections".

The main sponsor of the project is the oilfield services company Eriell-Group.
