Antique Uzbek Julkyr Flat Weave Suzani Wall Hanging. Lakai tribes of Uzbekistan. 264cm x 139cm

A FASCINATING UZBEK TENT HANGING BY THE LAKAI TRIBES OF UZBEKISTAN, MID TO LATE 19TH CENTURY.

STILL WITH REMAINS OF SOME HANGING LOOPS TO TOP EDGE.

24 GULS EMBROIDERED ONTO A TERRACOTTA COTTON GROUND. 8 SECTIONS STITCHED TOGETHER VERTICALLY. PROBABLY MADE BY VARIOUS YOUNG GIRLS WITHIN AN UZBEK TRIBAL GROUP.

HAS VARIOUS HOLES AND WEAR BUT STITCHED TOGETHER/REPAIRED I IMAGINE WITHIN THE TRIBE AS WAS NEEDED,THIS BEING EVIDENCE THAT IT WAS USED FOR ALONG TIME AS A TENT ADORNMENT BEFORE MAKING ITS WAY TO THE WEST. 

THERE ARE 20 IMAGES OF THIS HANGING. I LOVE IT FOR ITS INVENTIVENESS AND OFF BEAT LOOK. CAN BE HUNG ON A WALL I HAVE ADDED TEN TWINE HANGING LOOPS OR EQUALLY AS GOOD AS A FLOOR COVERING. 

A TRUE GEM OF AN ORIGINAL UZBEK WEAVING.
