The Museum of Islamic Art in Malaysia houses three pieces of horse equipment - a saddlebag, bridle, and harness. These items were purchased individually, gradually, from 2000 to 2005, as part of a larger acquisition. Some of them were found to have been brought from Samarkand and Bukhara. In general, they partially reflect the horsemanship culture of the Uzbek people in the 19th century.
The saddlebag was woven using a pile weaving technique, the pile was trimmed. It consists of two interconnected bags. Ribbons were sewn into the bags' mouths, possibly to be able to cover them. The surfaces of the saddlebag are decorated with geometric patterns (rhombic hooks). The base is cotton, fluffy - wool, dyed red, orange, dark blue, white, green, and brown. The lining consists of striped fabric (possibly hemp) made of cellulose fiber.
The yugan was assembled from narrow panels woven from sheep and goat wool, reminiscent of the patterned items described in the section "The Art of Embroidery of the Semicultural Tribes of the Lakays and Kungrats". Additional fabrics woven on the horse's pommel and along the bridge of the nose are decorated with numerous hooks in the form of a V-shaped pattern. The bridge of the nose and the temple are made of dark red velvet. These parts are decorated with cowry shells, turquoise beads, and pendants.
Harness is a decorative item, usually located under the saddle. It was made from machine-woven velvet fabric and processed leather. On the U-shaped bottom, many flowers and a pair of bird images are embroidered with threads of different colors. These patterns resemble suzani embroidery. The lower edge of the harness is decorated with silk tassels. There are not many discussions on this topic, as they are not common in today's collections. Nevertheless, the use of complex ornamentation and velvet as a base indicates that this item belongs to the category of expensive furniture.
Horses have always played an important role in the life of tribal communities. They were valued for their speed and endurance, and during wartime were preferred for increasing cavalry mobility. Also, horses were unparalleled as means of transportation, used in sports games, and even as an important component of rituals and ceremonies. Horses, although not luxurious in the eyes of their owners due to their significance, received equipment worthy of their status.
