In Otrar, items with bright blue and blue-violet painting were especially popular. According to the analyses, cobalt oxide served as the dye. The so-called "cobalt points" discovered by geologists in the Karatau mountains were not developed in ancient times. Obviously, the blue dye (lochivard) was brought from Samarkand, where it came from Badakhshan. On some products from Otrar, yellow painting is made with antimony oxide. This paint is also imported (antimony came to Central Asia from Iran and Mashhad). Due to the high cost, it was used extremely rarely. View in 3D
