A private residence of the medieval period
Brought to light during excavations in the years 1957, this private residence is named after the almost intact assemblage of lustre-painted ceramics found in it. The site is completely dismantled today.
The excavators attributed it to the Ghurid period, suggesting that its abandonment dates back to the Mongol conquest of Ghazni in 1221.
