Three unique examples of Uzbek jewelry art are kept in the collection of the Museum of Asia and the Pacific…
Among Zoroastrian burial items, there is a camel-shaped zoomorphic OSTADON lying there. It was found in the Anqa fortress, possibly dating back to the 1st century BC - the 1st century AD. Ceramic, hand-worked, fired.
Ostadon has a round shape. It had a large hole in the back, which had to be covered with a humped cover. The camel's neck stretched forward, its head raised high. The short tail was wound in the form of a round hook, which served as the handle of the ostadon.
On both sides of the ostadon, several sun symbols are carved in pairs, they are circular in shape, emit many rays, and have a horizontal Latin "S" symbol. It is the tamga of a dynasty that was the ruler of Khorezm.
