Bukhara, Uzbekistan
Ulubegh Medresa
1417-21
Timurid
One of three madrasas commissioned by Ulu Begh, this one in Bukhara was constructed over the same years as that in Samarkand. The builder, Ismail b. Tahir b. Mahmud al-Isfahani utilized the traditional courtyard plan, but instead of the standard four iwans, he included only two. The decorative scheme makes considerable use of
hazarbaf brick patterns in dark and light blue glazed tile. The entrance iwan also includes
haft rangi tiles with extensive gilding.
