At the meeting, Sara Plambly, the head of the Islamic and Indian Art Department at Christie’s auction house, briefly introduced the history and activities of the organization. She provided information about several rare exhibits and works of visual art held by the organization.
Plambly showed the guests some manuscripts held by the auction house, one of which was a manuscript of "Khamsa", copied by the Eastern classical literature representative Khoja Kirmoniy in 1524. Another manuscript was "Shams and Mushtariy", a poem copied in 1494 by Shamsiddin Muhammad Assor in Tabriz. Both manuscripts were created under the influence of Timurid-era book art.
Following this, representatives of the Center for Islamic Civilization visited another auction house in London, Sotheby’s. The delegation members were welcomed by Benedict Carter, the head of the Auction Sales Department.
The auction house staff provided the Uzbekistan representatives with information about Central Asian cultural heritage artifacts currently in the house’s possession. Among the items were a Sogdian robe dating back to the 8th century, ceramic vessels from the Samanid period, tiles from ancient buildings, and Quran manuscripts believed to have been copied during the Mamluk and Timurid periods.
The head of the Center for Islamic Civilization proposed a collaboration with the auction houses. Representatives of these auction houses were also invited to the "International Islamic Cultural Heritage Week," planned to take place in Tashkent in March 2025.
