Mosaic tiled ceiling: This stunning ceiling was inside one of the
madrasas (religious colleges) that I visited in Samarkand. Due to Islam's prohibition
on depicting humans or animals, the art developed along geometric forms. You
can also see the farsi script along the border. Although most Uzbeks can't read
it and even those who can can't understand it, they believe as their religion
dictates, that the koran is only inspired in it's original language.
