Description

Tush Kyiz are elaborately embroidered wall hangings, traditionally made in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan by women to commemorate the marriage of a son or daughter.

This fine example has a very detailed design in soft pastel colours on a black cotton ground, it is the tradition to leave the lower end of the panel un-finished.

FAQs

A Tush Kyiz is a traditional embroidered wall hanging created by Kyrgyz women to celebrate marriage and family milestones, historically hung inside yurts to decorate living spaces.

These textiles are typically hand-stitched onto a base fabric of wool or cotton using silk or cotton embroidery threads, featuring chain stitch or tambour techniques to form symbolic motifs.

Authentic pieces display hand-worked embroidery, natural dye variations, geometric and floral circular medallion motifs, and a characteristic open-bottomed central panel layout.

A Tush Kyiz can be mounted on a neutral wall as a focal textile art piece, hung behind a sideboard, or framed behind protective glass to add texture and history to contemporary spaces.

Keep the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, support its weight evenly when displaying, avoid washing with water, and consult a professional textile conservator for cleaning.
