The products of Afghan craftsmen were always in demand among the local population, especially copperware, weapons - daggers and sabers, which were eagerly purchased by the Uzbek nobility. Afghans settled mainly in Samarkand and Bukhara, where the most crowded bazaars were located and buyers from all over Central Asia came.
