Gaukushon, whose name has an unpleasant translation of Slaughterhouse, was engaged in this ugly but important business in the surrounding mahalla. On the left is a madrasah (1570) with remnants of tiles: On the right is a mosque (1598) with a 20-meter minaret: I must say, there are few minarets in Bukhara - the grandiose Kalyan, part of the Great Mosque complex, "sounded" throughout the Old City. The Small Minaret (as it is called by Bukharians) is very similar to Kalyan, even decorated with brick ornaments, and therefore in the wilds of alleys, where it is easier to get lost than in the forest, it is often a false landmark.
