Ouzbeck

In the literature, rugs of the Uzbek are among the least known. In Uzbekistan, rugs were woven mainly for home use by non-settled, semi-nomadic tribal people. Uzbekistan is best known for their Suzani rugs. Suzanis have large silk embroidered panels featuring geometric and floral motifs. Typically they were made for a bride’s dowry; they closely resemble American patchwork quilts because of their simplified, abstract shapes. Uzbekistan rugs are woven as either pile of flat weaves.
