Description

The Lakai Uzbek tribes were semi-nomadic and noted for their horse-breeding. They were fiercely independent and often sent plundering raids on their neighbours! They occupied what is now southern Uzbekistan and their fabulous silk embroideries reflect their shamanistic roots. The symbolic motifs of swirling disks, spirals and stylised scorpions and spiders have a primal quality about them and they exude a magical energy.

This magnificent 'uuk kap ilgich' dates to circa 1900 and has silk embroidery on a red cotton and blue velvet background. The trim is in applied silk cross-stitch with purple silk backing and long silk tassels.

A truly beautiful embroidery and a stunning wall-hanging.

Size: 50cm x 25cm (1' 8" x 10") excluding tassels.

FAQs

Lakai Uzbek hangings are traditional embroidered textiles created by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in Central Asia, historically used to decorate yurts and domestic interiors.

These pieces typically feature hand-spun wool, cotton, or silk embroidery threads stitched onto a woven foundation fabric, often accented with natural dyes and decorative tassels.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-spun yarns, natural dye variations, irregular hand-stitching, and traditional tribal geometric or floral motifs specific to the region.

Mounting the textile professionally on a neutral backing or hanging it on a dedicated wall space allows the intricate patterns and colours to serve as a focal point.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, keeping the textile away from high humidity, and consulting a specialist conservator for cleaning.
