I remember with gratitude all discussions I had with collegues from Russia,
Uzbekistan and Tadzhikistan.
Most inspiring were the conversations with and advices from Boris Ilyich Maršak
- although we have different views of what is to see in the Afrasiab murals.
Special thanks go to Mr. Sören Stark, M.A., who has kindly supplied me
with some of his excellent pictorial materials.
First of all everyone
engaged in the Afrasiab murals must remember Lazar
Al'baum, the scholar from
Taškent who wrote the first great evaluation of the paintings. His ingenious
work has by no means lost its value.
