In everyday life, the emir and the nobility wore ichigi (makhsi) on their feet - high velvet boots with a sharp top, thin leather soles without or with a small heel.
Men's mahsi were higher than women's. The tops were sewn from colored smooth velvet. Decorated with colorful red, green or gold-embroidered embroidery using predominantly floral ornaments using the zaminduzi technique.
The lining material for the mahsi was adras and other local fabrics. Traditionally, the mahsi was worn with leather or gold-embroidered kavush with a sharp, curved toe and a small heel, which were removed at the entrance to the room.
You will find more examples of national Uzbek clothes in the book-album "Traditional Uzbek costume based on materials from museum and private collections (Part 1)" (volume XLVIII) from the series "Cultural legacy of Uzbekistan in the world collections."
The general sponsor of the project is the oilfield services company Eriell-Group.
