One of them is the ornaments that show the art and aesthetic value of historical documents. Miniatures, illustrations, elegant patterns in the seals of the khans, in the title part of documents (unvan), in tables, colorful, geometric drawings made in the text frame, with the help of such attributes you can get a lot of information about the culture and social environment of the Khorezm nation.
