- Lot Description
Central Asia, Afghanistan, Uzbek culture / Lakai people, ca. 1900s to 1940s CE. A tent pole bag known as an "ok bash" (okbash) made of wool felt over a woven wool liner, the exterior decorated with embroidered curvilinear designs outlined in white, and tassels made of yarn and horsehair. This conical shaped bag was used to cover the ends of tent poles while traveling, which then protected the camels in the caravan from accidently impaling their eyes on the poles when following behind; the tassels swinging freely also probably helped deter the animals from getting too close as well. The Uzbek people are a Turkic ethnic group primarily residing in the "Stan" region, their history is closely tied to the Silk Road trade routes that passed through their region for centuries. The Lakai are a semi-nomadic Uzbek tribe and have historically been involved in trade and livestock herding activities in the rugged terrain- often living in portable yurt tents adorned with colorful textiles similar to this piece. Size (tassels incl.): 43" L x 16" W (109.2 cm x 40.6 cm)
