This beautiful antique Uzbek Lakai silk textile is a striking example of Central Asian tribal embroidery, renowned for its bold expression and symbolic richness. Handcrafted by the Lakai people, the textile features intricate silk embroidery in vivid shades of red, blue, white, and pink against a deep black ground, all framed by a dark green quilted border. The central design radiates with cross-like floral medallions and abstract tribal motifs, representing fertility, protection, and cultural identity. The asymmetrical and slightly curved panel layout adds dynamic movement, typical of Lakai's artistic spontaneity. Crafted from silk on cotton, this piece reflects the nomadic Lakai aesthetic and is a rare collectable from Uzbekistan's rich textile heritage.
