Vintage Uzbekistan saye gosha (sometimes segusha). These V shaped textiles were originally household decorations used to drape over folded bedding or shelves. Materials feel natural, most probably cotton, silk, or a blend. Fringe is attached to a braided band that is in turn sewn to the bottom of the V-shape panel. Dyes could be natural and may bleed if they get wet. Central Asian embroidery is immaculate and very precise. A beautiful old piece. 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 some pieces such as this one, the inside of the V is filled with a square panel that is also embroidered.

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. Please know that we strive to maintain the tribal allure of our items and therefore we do not clean or repair these pieces in any way. We leave that choice to the buyer, as each may prefer something different.
