Gadjari, one of the most common types of palas (a traditional Uzbek carpet), is made on a narrow-loom machine.

Ok-enli and kiz-gilam are embroidered carpets traditionally produced in the regions of the Kungrats and the Lakais. These carpets were often part of a bride’s dowry and symbolized prosperity and happiness. The patterns used in these carpets are not random: they carry wishes for good fortune and happiness for the newlyweds.

These pieces not only decorate homes but also preserve the history and customs of the people, passing them from generation to generation.
