The portal of Sherdor Madrassah

Sherdor, which sounds in translation — "having tigers", or "having lions", the spiritual school received thanks to the mosaic panel that decorated the tympanum of the main entrance. The pictorial image shows a hunting scene of a fabulous animal that looks like a tiger with a lion's mane. The story depicted on the Central portal of the madrasa building later became the national emblem of Uzbekistan. It is a symbol of power. The artistic decoration of the madrasa building is made of a variety of materials — glazed bricks, mosaic tiles, ceramic majolica.
