"Afrasiyab: The Legendary King of Turan and His Tales Unveiled in Samarkand" Step into the enchanting world at the Afrosiab Museum, also known as Afrosiyob Museum, located in the mesmerizing city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan. This captivating museum takes you on a journey through time with its remarkable collection. Admire the intricate wall paintings that adorn the museum's halls, telling stories of ancient heroes and mythical creatures. One such masterpiece is "Kai Khusrau Enthroned Holding a Sword, " a stunning artwork from c. 1300-30 that showcases the grandeur of this legendary king. As you explore further, your eyes will be drawn to a magnificent beaker depicting scenes from Shahnama, an epic Persian poem. Created during the Saljuq Period in Kashan, Iran, this piece beautifully captures moments from ancient tales. Immerse yourself in history as you witness dramatic battle scenes unfold before your eyes. An opaque watercolor painting from 1580 depicts an intense clash between warriors straight out of Shahnama's pages. Fascinating folios from Firdawsi's Book of Kings offer glimpses into Afrasiyab's life and reign. A portrait painted around 1803-4 portrays him majestically on canvas - a true testament to his power and influence. The museum also highlights pivotal moments like Kay Khusraw preparing to behead Afrasiyab or Rustam leading his men to attack Afrasiyab's palace and fortress – all depicted vividly in ink or watercolor illustrations. Delve deeper into Afrasiyab's world as Siyavush engages him in a thrilling game of polo or witness Garsivaz being flogged while Afrasiyab is dragged from the lake - both events captured within Shahnama’s timeless narratives.
