EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and vibrant decoration on a tomb built in 1372, located within the Shah-i-Zinda Complex in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The artists behind this masterpiece are CM Dixon and an unknown talent from the Timurid Dynasty. The glazed-brick embellishments, characteristic of this era, exude a timeless beauty. The Shah-i-Zinda necropolis is nestled in the northeastern part of Samarkand, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural marvels of Asia. In this close-up shot, shades of blue dominate the frame as they intertwine with floral motifs and arabesque patterns. Each element tells its own story while contributing to an overall symphony of color and design. As daylight illuminates these ancient walls, it brings to life centuries-old concepts such as death, burial rituals, and commemoration. This mausoleum stands tall as a testament to human creativity and reverence for those who have passed on. The mosaic-like arrangement of bricks creates a mesmerizing facade that captivates viewers from every angle. It is evident that decorative arts played a significant role in shaping this unique structure's identity throughout history. With its patterned tiling and flowered motifs adorning every inch, this tomb serves as both an architectural wonder and a symbol of cultural heritage. Its existence bridges two distinct centuries –the fourteenth century when it was originally built–to modern times when CM Dixon captured its essence through his lens. This photograph by Mike Dixon
