Antique Uzbek embroidered dowry cloth cover / wrap, known as 'boghkchah'. Size: 6ft 5in x 5ft 5in (196 x 165cm). Circa 19200. This interesting and scarce item was used by Uzbek ladies to wrap the bridal dowry. Items were placed on the cloth and the corners folded over like an envelope / parcel, with the embroidered corner folded last so that it was visible on the top. The cloth is made of seven strips of red wool cloth, which are stitched together, the embroidery is in cotton. Note the edges bound in silk and the green tassels added to the embroidered corner. I would consider this to be a scarce item that is rarely seen or known of today. The condition is good with historic signs of use and some small holes to the red wool ground.
