Bayan-Quli Khan Mausoleum, 14th century mausoleum in Bukhara, Uzbekistan.

The mausoleum features a cubic structure measuring 12 by 8 meters with a prayer room and a separate grave chamber beneath a dome.

Built in 1358, this mausoleum serves as the final resting place for Bayan Kuli Khan, who ruled the Chagatai Khanate from 1348 to 1358.

The surfaces display intricate geometric patterns, Kufi inscriptions, and floral motifs in dark blue, light blue, and white ceramic decorations.

The monument stands two kilometers southeast of Bukhara's historical center, near the Sayfiddin-Boharziy Mausoleum within the Fathabad district.

Parts of the original facade decorations are now exhibited at museums in London and Hamburg, demonstrating the international recognition of its artistry.
