A unique wall painting was discovered at the archaeological site of Bobur-Tepa.

An exceptional wall painting has been discovered at the Bobur-Tepa archaeological site.

Fragments of an ancient building and a unique example of wall painting were discovered during archaeological excavations at the Bobur-Tepa site, located in the Kamashinsky District of the Kashkadarya Region.

On the western wall of one of the rooms, an image of tulips and white flowers, painted on clay plaster and decorated with thin red wavy lines, was discovered.

This painting was subsequently hidden under a layer of white lime plaster.

The building's massive walls and decorative elements suggest that it may have served as a religious site in the 4th-5th centuries CE.

Experts emphasize that subsequent excavations will allow for a more precise determination of the building's purpose, architectural structure, and historical significance.

The research is being conducted by Sanjar Abdurakhimov, a researcher at the Samarkand branch of the Institute of Archaeology.
