Metal chasing of Karshi and Shakhrisabz

Metal chasing of Karshi and Shakhrisabz

Such regional schools of Uzbek metal chasing as Khorezm, Bukhara-Samarkand and Fergana differ in the shape of products, the nature of the decor and methods of decoration.

The products of Karshi and Shakhrisabz are notable for a variety of shapes and carved decor. Karshi oftoba (jugs) with a spherical body, a high thin neck and a figured handle look original. Shakhrisab craftsmen use plated stamped parts, medallions inlaid with turquoise and colored glass in the design of chased dishes.

You can learn more about the topic in the book-album "The Collection of the State Museum of Applied Art and Handicraft’s History of Uzbekistan" (XXXIX volume) from the series "The Cultural Legacy of Uzbekistan".

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