Among Zoroastrian burial items, there is a camel-shaped zoomorphic OSTADON lying there. It was found…
The costume consisted of a shirt dress, shalwar (baggy pants); outer clothes included a mursak and a ton; a paranja was worn for outdoor clothing; headwear consisted of a variety of headscarves; makhsi and galoshes; and jewelry.
Famous Russian painter Alexander Nikolayev, known as Usto Mumin, who dedicated his life to Uzbek culture, made remarkable images of Tashkent costumes of the late 19th and early 20th century. He created them for ethnographer M. Bikjanova. On weekdays, depending on their age, women tended to wear one dress, pants, a ton or a mursak, and a headscarf; for an outdoor garment they wore a paranja. During holidays, they would wear richer garments made of more expensive fabrics.
You will find more examples of national Uzbek clothes in the book-album "Traditional Uzbek costume on materials of museum and private collections of Uzbekistan (Part 1)" (volume XLVIII) from the series "Cultural legacy of Uzbekistan in the world collections."
The general sponsor of the project is the oilfield services company Eriell-Group.
