The object you see in the photograph may at first glance appear to be an ancient copper vessel. But in reality, it takes us back to the Baburid court of the 17th century — a world where music resounded, hunting scenes came to life, and ceremonial moments unfolded as gifts were presented before the ruler. This monumental vessel, decorated with depictions of hunters, musicians, and figures carrying offerings to the sovereign, is one of the most remarkable and conceptually rich examples of Baburid court art.

The nephrite bowl created in the XVII–XVIII centuries during the Baburid dynasty represents one of the historical objects that preserve the worldview and statecraft culture of its time through its historical significance. This rare artifact was repatriated to our country from one of the prestigious auction houses in London with the support of the initiative of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to return unique masterpieces of our cultural heritage from abroad.

Memorandums of cooperation were signed between the Center and the country’s leading media outlets in order to introduce the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan, built at the initiative of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, to the wider public and to widely promote its scientific and educational activities in both national and international information spaces. These agreements aim to deliver the Center’s activities to a broad audience through modern media platforms and to popularize the rich heritage of Islamic civilization.
