In Uzbekistan, this craft, with its centuries-old traditions, has been developing for a long time in a variety of local schools and centers. By execution technique, copper and brass products are divided into cast and forged. The local uniqueness of such products is most clearly manifested primarily in the ornamental decoration. The decor is applied by hammering - kandakori, embossing - bosma and engraving or cutting with a chisel - chizma. Casting and openwork chasing shabaka were used to make lids, handles, and stands for vessels. A large number of products are made in the technique of flat incised carving and deep carving with openwork patterned ornament.
