Textile
collecting was always an integral part of our research process. For many
years, we traveled through northern Afghanistan collecting textiles and
information about them in Tashkurgan, Aibak, Mazar-i-Sharif, Aqcha, and
Maimana. Our textile collections have been a great resource for our writing,
have been shown in museum exhibitions, and have brought us great personal
enjoyment and pleasure. See the short articles in the Articles on Art
section of this website for an introductory view of the history and cultural
background of Central Asian ikat and Uzbek and Turkoman embroidery. For
more detailed information, look to our books "Ikat Silks of Central
Asia, the Guido Goldman Collection", Calmann and King, 1996 and the
new "Uzbek Embroidery in the Steppe Tradition", the "Jack
A. and Aviva Robinson Collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts",
MIA, 2007. We draw your attention to the rare Turkoman cuffs, bags, and
"elek" (protective children’s collars) shown below as extraordinary
and authentic examples of embroidery from a little-known cultural tradition.
The Turkoman embroidered and felted bread bags had tremendous social significance
in Turkoman society, as the ritual delivery and presentation of breads
formed part of many social interactions such as weddings and birth celebrations.
Amu Darya region Turkoman embroidery remains one of the least published
but superb Central Asian textile traditions; if it seems that we are hinting
that we would love to write that book, you are right. Other noteworthy
pieces are the authentic Lakai or Kungrat v-shaped segusha, the ikat robe
(we have other ikat and plain silk robes and garments to come) and the
more recently acquired examples of charming, mid-twentieth century "suzani"
embroideries from Uzbekistan.
