On June 25, 1399, that is, on the 20th of Shawwal, 801 AH, by decree of Amir Timur, a huge bronze cauldron was made. This information is clearly recorded in the epigraphic inscription on the body of the cauldron.
The cauldron is seen not only as a vivid example of the art of practical metalworking, but also as a synthesis of Islamic beliefs, Sufi traditions, and cultural processes of the Timurid era.
The height of the boiler is 1.62 meters, the diameter is 2.42 meters, it can hold up to 3000 liters of water, and its approximate weight is 2 tons. The phrase "Baraka topsin" is written on the vessel 10 times in Persian, and the phrase "Hokimiyat Allohnikidir" is written 22 times in Arabic Kufic script. The upper ribbon contains quotes from the Quran and hadiths.
According to reports, sweet water (in some sources, a dish) was cooked in this huge cauldron on Fridays and distributed to the people as charity. This practice symbolized the sharing of all people in Sufism from one vessel.
The 600-year-old copy of this cauldron, which is currently kept in the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkestan, Kazakhstan, is expected to be included in the exposition of the Center of Islamic Civilization.
