During the reign of Amir Temur (1370-1405) and the Temurids, Tashkent became an outpost city at the border between the oasis and a nomadic steppe. In the 14th century, large-scale reconstruction works were carried out there, which destroyed the topography of ancient Binkat, as Tashkent was known in the 9th-13th centuries. Amir Temur ordered that the destroyed holy places be restored. This resulted in the construction of two mausoleums near the grave of Sufi preacher Zangiata (Ayhuja ibn Tajhuja, died in 1258), who was popular in Tashkent. The construction was completed later by Amir Ulugbek. The buildings have survived to our time. Unfortunately, due to earthquakes, most of ancient architectural monuments in Tashkent have not been preserved. Therefore, any fragment that once decorated medieval buildings is valuable for its originality. One of such fragments was found near the Ming-Urik archaeological site. It may be a fragment of architectural carved facing dated to about the middle of the 14th century. Judging by a preserved fragment of a text, it was a part of interior architectural ornamentation, which most likely decorated a mosque's mihrab. It contains only a few last words from the Quran's first surah, Al-Fatiha: "Valaz-zolliyn. Omen. Sadakalloh (ul-azim)". The inscription is made in the Naskh script, with irregular diacritics. The spaces between the letters are filled with floral patterns and palmettes.
