Antique at Torba Ilgich, Lakai Uzbeks, Shakrisabz, Uzbekistan, Central Asia.

19th century
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").

This late 19th-century Central Asian at torba ilgich is a tribal textile wall hanging made by the Lakai Uzbeks in Shakrisabz, Uzbekistan. The square piece consists of a red silk embroidered surface backed with Russian printed-cotton lining and decorated with dense multi-coloured thread tassels in shades of pink, yellow, blue, white, black, and purple. The embroidered design includes a central green diamond medallion, multiple sunburst motifs, rams horn scrolls, and geometric patterns in yellow, white, black, and blue.

FAQs

An ilgich, or at torba, is a traditional square embroidered envelope bag or decorative wall panel created by nomadic Lakai Uzbek tribes in Central Asia.

These textiles typically feature silk or wool chain-stitch embroidery worked onto a cotton or wool foundation fabric, often bordered with hand-bound multi-coloured tassels.

Authentic Lakai pieces are characterised by bold, high-contrast graphic motifs such as rams horns, sunbursts, and central diamonds, alongside distinctive tassel fringes.

Central Asian textiles can be mounted inside a custom acrylic shadow-box frame or suspended from a slender rail above a sideboard or console table.

Store or display away from direct sunlight, mount using acid-free conservation materials, and clean gently using light suction through a fine mesh screen.
