A puppet from the "chodir hayal" puppet theater. Abdu-Gafar-bek was the last ruler of this beydom during the period when it was part of the Kokand Khanate and until 1866, when the city of Ura-Tyube was captured by Russian troops, and the beydom's territory was subsequently incorporated into the Turkestan Governorate-General. However, Abdu-Gafar subsequently maintained a loyal stance toward the new government.
