In rainy weather, the semi-nomadic population (shepherds) wore kabenek – clothes like a robe with special cuts for the head and hands and in winter over another checkman robe made of camel or sheep wool.
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.
