Physical description
This saye gosha is decorated with a pattern of bold curling floral and foliate forms in red, black, yellow and white on a maroon ground, identifying it as the work of a woman of the Lakai Uzbek community. Its fringe features a beaded pattern of repeated lozenges and is finished with beaded tassels.
