An outstanding example of antique Uzbek Lakai tribe silk embroidery known as Ilgich / Ayna Khalta. Dating to the 19th century, this gorgeous bridal textile was mirror bag cover as part of the wedding ceremony, after which it would have been hung in the home as Talismanic embroidery. The fine polychrome silk embroidery is done on a wool ground (brought into Central Asia from u.k of all places via the Silk Road). The field consists of a powerful star motif surrounded by gorgeous hook shaped motifs, repeating in an array of contrasting colours. The detail is fantastic. It is finished with green ground borders with classic Lakai spike design motifs. The polychrome tassels and the Russian printed cotton lining completes the piece. Everything about makes this a top tier example. Offered at a very fair price. Size: 63cm x 59cm (25” x 23”) with tassels extending an extra 7.5cm (3”).
