Here is a beautifull pair of old Kirgiz embroidered arm bands or cuffs (i am not sure which). The bands measure 14" long and 2" wide and are in excelent condition. They were purchased along with the Kirgiz belt in my previous auction and are Kirgiz work as well, however the needle work here, while very fine, is not as fine as that of the belt. There are seven colors used here, black, white, yellow,orange, light blue and light green. The belt may have been made by the mother or grandmother and the bands by the daughter for her wedding dress. The colors are rich and are all derived from natural dyes. From the quality and fine design and older dye colors used i would date these bands to between the 3rd. and 4th. quarter of the 19th.century. i am showing this pair of arm bands or cuffs with the very fine belt shown in my previous offering. offering is for the arm bands only.
