Antique at Torba Ilgich, Lakai Uzbek Tribes, Shakrisabz, Uzbekistan, Central Asia.

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.

Originating from the Lakai Uzbek tribes of Shakrisabz in Central Asia, this late nineteenth-century antique at torba ilgich wall hanging represents the nomadic tribal style of 1890.

Hand-embroidery details entire surfaces in silk, backed with Russian printed-cotton lining, while extensive red fringe decorates the edges. The dimensions measure 58 cm high by 58 cm wide.

FAQs

An At Torba or Ilgich is a traditional nomadic tribal textile bag or small hanging crafted by the Lakai people of Uzbekistan, historically utilised for storage within yurt dwellings or for ceremonial transport.

These textiles typically feature hand-spun wool and cotton structural yarns, decorated with intricate cross-stitch or chain-stitch embroidery and finished with heavy hand-knotted fringe borders.

Authentic examples exhibit natural dye tonal variation, irregular hand-spun threads, traditional geometric hook motifs, and evidence of hand-construction rather than uniform synthetic machine production.

Display the piece mounted inside a acrylic shadowbox frame, hung directly on a focal wall, or positioned above a console table to introduce colour, texture, and historical pattern.

Keep the textile positioned away from direct sunlight and high humidity, vacuum gently on a low setting using a mesh protective screen, and consult a professional textile conservator for cleaning.
