Abstract
The analysis of organic materials in grounds and paints used in wall painting of a middle Asia monument, Sultan Sanjar's tomb (Turkmenia), has been carried out. This monument is a unique piece of Oriental culture of the 11th-12th centuries. It is known that ancient craftsmen in middle Asia introduced organic materials into grounds and paints in order to improve their technical properties. A quantitative analysis of the organic dope in samples of wall paintings has been carried out for the first time. About 0.9% of dry protein was extracted and detected.
