M. FORD CREECH ANTIQUES

UZBEK JAJIM
Uzbekistan, Central Asia, late 19th century

  

  

Exotic, bold and graphic jajim, originally intended as a cover (jajim), a ritual textile usually associated with dowry functions, composed of narrow

bands of warp faced weave, sewn together. Rich in symbolism, the elements probably represent fertility or talismans, with motifs similar to rams

horns seen thoughout central Asia. The weave is hardy, able to withstand wear on the floor, yet light and certainly decorative enough

to be used a bed cover or wall hanging.

 

Saturated colors in red, black, green and ochre from natural dyes.

Condition: immaculate, with no holes or stains.

6'10" x 6'3"
