About work
Our great ancestor Mirzo Ulugbek, grandson of Amir Temur, head of the Timurid dynasty since 1447. He is a famous scientist, astronomer, mathematician of his time. That is why Ulugbek left his mark on history as both a king and a thinker.
The artist tried to combine both the king and the scientist in one figure in the statue and succeeded. Mirza Ulugbek is sitting on the throne with dignity. He is wearing a golden robe and a royal crown on his head. And on his face, the thoughtfulness of scientists. Perhaps the ruler is dreaming of calling the best scientists of that time to the capital of the state, Samarkand, and using them to build an observatory and create a catalog of stars.
