Tavka Kurgan is an ancient fortress and archaeological site near Shirabad, Uzbekistan.

It is especially famous for some frescoes dated to the 5th-6th century CE, several of them located in the Archaeological Museum of Termez.

[1][2] One of these paintings, the so-called "Princess of Tokharistan", is actually thought to represent a hunter.

[3] The paintings of Tavka Kurgan were excavated by the Uzek archaeologist Šojmardon Raxmanov.

[4] They are of very high quality, and are closely related to other paintings of the Tokharistan school such as Balalyk tepe, Adžina-tepe and Kala-i Kafirnigan, in the depiction of clothes, and especially in the treatment of the faces.
