What kind of headdresses did the Khorezmians wear?

The main headdress was a high hat made of sheepskin fur with long wavy wool, a chugirma, worn all year round – an ancient headdress known since the 9th-10th c enturies. 

A chugirma most clearly identified the ethnicity of the population of the oasis. This headdress was of three types – tugalak chugirma, sherozi and silkma.

You will find more examples of national Uzbek clothes in the book-album "Traditional Uzbek costume on materials of museum and private collections of Uzbekistan (Part 2)" (volume XLIX) from the series "Cultural legacy of Uzbekistan in the world collections".

The general sponsor of the project is the oilfield services company Eriell-Group.
