Wood carvings of Khiva

Maybe starting with details is odd, but I have such amounts of photos that I'm afraid to drown you in the massive impact of the overall magnificence.

Anyway, we saw gorgeous wood carvings, especially on doors, almost everywhere we went. All of these are from Khiva's Ichon-Qala - inside the fortress or Old City. It was oddly empty and sterile, but the full glory of the buildings shone.
