THE ART OF GANCH CARVING 
The art of ganch carving is one of the richest forms of art in the East, widely 
spread in Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Arabia and other Eastern 
countries. This kind of art is especially different from other countries of the East 
in Central Asia in its way of representation, plot content and rich artistic 
composition. In particular, on the architectural and historical monuments of 
Bukhara, Samarkand, Shahrisabz, Kokand, Margilan and other cities of 
Uzbekistan you can see a vivid example of the art of ganch carving. The art of 
ganch carving has evolved over the centuries in a peculiar way. In the III 
Century, the famous palaces of Tuprakkala are decorated with examples of 
ganch carving. The samples found during the excavations of varakhshi in 
Bukhara date back to 7-8 centuries. 
V-VI Centuries the art of carving on gachu, wood, stone developed even more 
than in other periods. There were complex abstract images, then there were 
methods and methods of applying patterns in the thread. The art of ganch 
carving in the viiii Century received a new round of development, this is due to 
the adoption of Islam. This is a vivid example of the samples found in the ruins 
of Afrasiab. XIV-XVIII Centuries the art of carving toadstools was reborn in the 
architecture of Central Asia, in addition to decorations of external facades, 
carving reflected in the interior of palaces and madrassas, mosques and houses. 
The art of ganch carving received its dawn in the late XVIII and early XIX 
Centuries. Outstanding representatives of that time were: osteoarthritits, 
CustomerID, ptoposal, ustonson, ustorage, Horizonta Ibragimov, usesave, 
Polonophobia, uztaila, stockroom UTO Jura and many others. 
Among the schools of ganch carving, the Tashkent school deserves special 
attention. Works of art created by the masters of this school are separated by 
their beauty and not ordinariness. Outstanding representatives of this school are 
such masters as: Ponikarov, Corporatecontrol, Mahmoud Usmanov, Anvar 
Pulatov, Umarahunov, Markidonov and many other masters.
Samarkand is one of the most ancient and famous cities of the East and the 
world, the works of art of ganch carving created here are unique and not 
repeatable and differs from other schools of ganch carving. Prominent 
representatives of the Samarkand school of ganch carving are such masters as: 
Usto Anvar Muminov, Usto Tursunboy Ismoilov, Shamsiddin Gofurov. Coolies 
Stingers and others. At first glance, the work of Samarkand masters is somewhat 
similar to the work of Tashkent masters. 
When decorating the ganch carving of the building, it is necessary to take into 
account the architectural features and purpose of this building. The toadstool 
carving is applied in various ways as: Kiya-inclined way, Yassi-solid way, 
kirma zamini-grounded scratched way, zamini rangli, grounded color way,
