Urgut Market
Uzbekistan 2012: Urgut Market
An Uzbek grandma, holding a suzani, runs toward my friend, Torie. Torie was the center of attention in the market that day. The vendors sensed that she was a serious buyer.
A suzani is an embroidered coverlet typical of Uzbekistan. Urgut Market, outside of Samarkand is a treasure trove of antique suzanis.
If you, too, are a collector of old embroideries and want to add an authentic suzani from Urgut, contact Penelope at www.uzbekjourneys.com
