GENERAL EMBROIDERY, SAYE GOSHE

« Prev Item Next Item »

c. 1960

Overview

Saye Goshe are v shaped embroideries which hang over the rolled-up bed quilts in tents and houses during the day. They are made by Turkic tribes and each of the different tribes has their own design. This may have been done by the Lakai who often used fringes, both beaded and unbeaded on their work. They show the care and high value placed on embroidery and the tribes woman’s pleasure in embellishing. It is from Uzbekistan and probably between 50 and 70 years of age. R edges of a
