Nurullabay's palace, Palace in Khiva, Uzbekistan.

Muhammad Rahim Bahadur Khan II ordered the construction of this palace in 1912 as a summer residence for his son Asfandiyar Khan.

Local artisans created intricate wood carvings, stone bases for aivans, and decorative elements that showcase traditional Uzbek craftsmanship throughout the palace.

The seventh room of the palace features a ceiling decorated with precious stones and peacock feathers, demonstrating exceptional artistry.
