Elephant-shaped legs, delicate geometric patterns, and a bronze vessel preserved through the centuries… The object you see in the image is not an ordinary household item. It is a rare work of art created in the 11th–12th centuries in the territory of Mawarannahr and returned to Uzbekistan from London. Today, it occupies a place in the exhibition of the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan, guiding visitors into the spiritual world of the First Renaissance period.

A representative of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars who visited the Islamic Civilization Center in Uzbekistan stated that he had never seen a museum like this anywhere before and that the visit provided him with significant experience and knowledge.

Sacred coverings taken to the Kaaba, gifts from sultans, and the Mahmal an emblem of the ceremonial Hajj caravans were for centuries among the sacred traditions that united the Islamic world.

“This Center helps us understand that the origins of science and knowledge emerged precisely on the territory of Uzbekistan,” said Jack N. Gerard, Head of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the United States.
