Muhammad Bashshar Mausoleum
a monument of medieval Tadzhik architecture (in the village of Mazari-Sherif, in the Tadzhik SSR, near Pendzhikent). It was apparently built in the 11th or 12th century. The mausoleum has a strictly organized interior, with rooms situated along three parallel axes. A spacious, domed hall is in the center. The mausoleum has an 11th-century mihrab. The portal, which was added in 1342 and 1343, is lavishly embellished with terra-cotta (some of which is carved) and majolica tiles. The portal stands out against a background of smooth plastered walls and domes. REFERENCETrudy Tadzhikskoi arkheologicheskoi ekspeditsii. . . , vol. 3. Moscow-Leningrad, 1958.
