Vintage Uzbekistan saye gosha or segusha. These V shaped or square textiles are originally household decorations used to drape over folded bedding or drape over shelves. Materials feel natural, most probably cotton, silk, or a blend. Fringe is attached to a woven band that is sewn to the bottom of the V-shape panel. Dyes could be natural and may bleed if they get wet. Central Asian embroidery is very precise. Saye Gosha are found throughout southern Central Asia, made by Turkmen, Uzbek, and Kyrghiz craftswomen. There are stylistic differences between the pieces from each of these peoples, but all are V-shaped and embroidered. Many also include tassels or fringe of either fiber or beadwork. On this piece, the “inside” of the V is filled in with embroidery.

A NOTE ON THE CONDITION OF TRIBAL ITEMS: Our tribal beadwork and textile items are used tribal pieces from faraway lands. As used pieces they may be frayed, faded or otherwise reflect their prior lives as treasured tribal pieces.

We leave that choice to the buyer, as each may prefer something different.
