Gifts filled with the culture and traditions of our country
Carpet weaving
Carpets are divided into several types according to the length of the pile: ‘julhirs’, ‘gilams’ and ‘palas’. Julhirs are long-pile carpets. This type of rug has most preserved the tradition of monumental weaving, usually woven with stone and wooden spindles. Dzhulkhirs are most often found in Samarkand.
Carpet weaving is an amazing art form with which mankind has been familiar for almost five millennia (the first tufted structures are known from finds from Sumer). Its uniqueness lies in the fact that carpets are not just a familiar interior object. They are an invaluable historical source, a kind of ‘cultural text’, capable of telling about the way of life of their creators, methods of economy and the surrounding landscape, cults and religions, peripetias of ethnic history, relations with neighbouring peoples, aesthetic priorities....
When we talk about carpets in Central Asia, we first of all think of Turkmen products. Meanwhile, this type of home needlework and handicraft was also widespread among other peoples of the region - Karakalpaks, Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Arabs, Tajiks and Uzbeks. But here we will talk about the Uzbek tradition of carpet weaving.

Traditional dressing gowns
A specific upper female garment is the mursak dressing gown. It is a tunic-like garment without a collar, which was sewn in such a way that the halves overlapped when worn. Mursaks were made long, down to the ground, lined, and more often quilted on cotton wool. The collar, floors and the bottom of sleeves were lined with woven braid. National costumes are very colourful, beautiful, comfortable and are part of the rich cultural traditions and way of life of the people. In cities you can rarely meet people in national dress, today it is worn at traditional festive events, but in rural areas it still serves as part of everyday and weekend attire.
The embroidery pattern was not chosen by chance. It has always had either magical or practical significance. By the pattern one could understand the social status, and sometimes other meanings were put into it. For example, a repeated geometric pattern on the braid is a kind of amulet.

Pottery
The works of many folk pottery masters have been included in museum collections in Uzbekistan and foreign countries and in private collections.
Samarkand, Gijduvan, Shakhrisyabz, Katta-Kurgan, Rishtan, Khanki and Khiva in Khorezm, and Tashkent have long been known in Uzbekistan as centres of pottery art.

Potters make products of approximately the same shapes. These are primarily dishes called ‘lagan’ in Uzbek, ‘kosa’ - a bowl on a circular tray for liquid food, ‘piala’ - small bowls for tea, ‘khurma’ - a vessel with a lid similar to a soup tureen, and ‘oftoba’ - narrow-necked water jugs. These forms are produced throughout Uzbekistan, although they have specific features and variations and, as a result, sometimes different names in different cities and provinces.
