	San'at :: The embroidery of Shahrisabz
		Shahrisabz was the property of the Barlas clan, to which Amir Timur belonged.
		The embroidery of Shahrisabz reflected the aesthetic preferences of an urban environment, which were, in turn, based on the output of the artists and craftsmen operating in workshops attached to great households.
		Another favourite motif in Shahrisabz decoration, for example, is the flowering bush, decorated with a profusion of small flowers, which is popular in both folk and courtly art, as is shown by its frequent use in the architectural decor in Shahrisabz.

	Ak Saray , Shakhrisabz
		The Spanish ambassador, Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo, who passed through Shahrisabz in 1404 on his way to the court of Timur in Samarkand, was astounded and charmed by the architectural miracle, and he left a detailed description of it, noting, however, that the splendid artistic decoration of the palace was still unfinished.
		Historical tradition ascribes the destruction of the majestic edifice to Abdullakhan, who, during one of the sieges of unsubdued Shahrisabz, is supposed to have ordered the splendid structures of Timur and his descendants to be demolished.
		Be that as it may, of the once luxurious royal palace only the pillars and part of the arch of the main portal remained by the second half of the 18th century.
