National Arts and Crafts of Uzbekistan
Arts of Uzbekistan
Art culture of Uzbekistan develops on the basis of all the best the Uzbek people has achieved during the history. National arts and crafts occupy a prominent place in the cultural heritage of Uzbekistan. In the Middle Ages national arts developed in the context of the art of tracery, which had become prevalent.
The extensive national crafts and arts include chiseling on copper, wood, and plaster-based material; jeweler's art; carpet-making; ceramics; ornamental embroidery, gold-embroidery; decorative currying of tanned leather; silk-spinning; making of decorative braids; inlaid works on musical instruments; painting on papier-mache; making of decorative boxes for local type of tobacco; baskets, cradles, chests, and many others. During the centuries the national Uzbek crafts and arts were both on rise and decline, but handing down artistic traditions from one generation to the next never stopped.
