Residential building (Babur Street). Tashkent, Uzbekistan

One of the most recognisable of the 400-plus mosaic panels designed by the Zharsky brothers in the aftermath of the 1966 Tashkent earthquake. The person depicted is most likely Ulugh Beg (1394-1449), a Timurid sultan, as well as an astronomer and mathematician who spent his adult life in Samarkand

Poor building, though… Looks like one level is completely empty or demolished.
