Applied Art of Uzbekistan

Uzbek culture is rich with the applied art heritage. The historical context where the Uzbek culture was developed, determined the special role to the applied arts. For many centuries people founded  its technical and artistic traditions. The art is a legacy of many generations, it represents a series of successive layers, the oldest of which reflect the original nation spirit deeply imprinted in the art.

The extensive national crafts and arts include engraving on copper, wood, and plaster-based material; jeweler's arts; carpet making; ceramics; ornamental embroidery, gold embroidery; decorative currying of tanned leather; silk spinning; inlaid works on musical instruments; painting on papier-mache; creation of decorative boxes and many other types. Throughout the centuries, the national Uzbek crafts and arts have both risen and declined, but the handing down of artistic traditions from one generation to the next has never stopped.
