About event
The World of Tajik Embroidery exhibition features ancient and delicate embroidery
samples embodying the artistic and aesthetic taste, ideals, worldview, and spiritual values of the
Tajik people. For the first time, Azerbaijani visitors were able to explore a rich collection created
by masters from different cities and regions of Tajikistan, including Khujand, Istaravshan,
Kulob, Panjakent, Rasht, Badakhshan, and others.
The exhibition featured 56 unique exhibits from the Golden Treasury of the National
Museum of Tajikistan: suzani (embroidery type), chakan dresses, popurduzi (embroidery type),
blankets, small suzani, prayer rugs, embroidered men’s waist bandes (miyonband), mirror
covers (oinakhalta), fabric wall embroidery, tablecloth, etc. The suzani collection is extremely
rich in colors and ornaments and occupies a special place among the exhibits.
The exhibition also presented the distinctive form of Tajik embroidery known as
chakan, which was included in 2018 on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible
Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
