Description
The Lakai Uzbeks were a semi-nomadic tribe, noted for their horse-breeding and fiercely independent.They lived in what is now southern Uzbekistan and were noted for their embroideries reflecting their shamanistic roots. The symbolic motifs of swirling disks, spirals and stylised scorpions and spiders have a primal quality about them and exude a magical energy.
This beautiful late 19th century 'at torba ilgich' is very finely embroidered entirely in silk and backed with Russian printed-cotton lining and decorated with silk fringing.
Size: 60cm x 60cm (2' 0" x 2' 0").
