мавзолей Юнусх Хана

The Mausoleum of Yunus Khan stands in Tashkent’s Sheyhantaur architectural complex, beside the Mausoleum of Sheikh Havendi at-Takhur. This fifteenth-century building presents a large, two-storey khanaka with an elevated revak colonnade. Inside, a T-shaped plan leads into a cross-shaped central hall ending in an octagonal niche. Rows of small khudjrs carry shield-shaped domes.

Yunus Khan’s sons built the mausoleum after his death for the Moghulistan ruler and Tashkent leader. His lineage connected him to Genghis Khan and the Timurids. Earthquake damage later altered the structure, while the dome was reconstructed without the original drawings. Arabic script and girikh ornament cover the façades.

Stone columns retain traces of mukarnas, and pandjara grilles cover the windows inside. The present entrance door came from a mosque dismantled during the nineteen-thirties. No burial was found in the hall, leaving its central purpose unresolved. Craftsmen once built a chang, an ancient Uzbek musical instrument, between the door leaves.
