What was the Tashkent mursak?

The main specific kind of women’s upper clothing in Fergana and Tashkent was mursak (mirsak, misak) that was a fasten-less tunic-like garment with an open collar which, unlike Bukhara kaltacha, slightly opened the chest and neck.

Small wedges were attached onto the front flaps so that when it was worn the two flaps came one after the other, leaving the chest open.

You will find more examples of national Uzbek clothes in the book-album "Traditional Uzbek costume on materials of museum and private collections of Uzbekistan (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.
