Kirghiz Embroidered Tent Band

About the Item

A rare complete tent band, embroidered in wool on a felt background, embellished at its bottom by polychrome tassels. The Kirghiz people of Central Asia employ bands such as this to ornate the interior of their tent, the yurt, which they use as their shelter during their winter encampments. The Central Asian art of embroidering felt goes back to the Scythian people, inhabiting the area in the first Millennium B.C.
