Curated by Ariana Rugs, backed by over 40 years of expertise in authentic Central Asian textiles in the heart of the West Hollywood Design District, this remarkably preserved 6" vintage Uzbek skullcap (tubeteika / duppi) is a masterpiece of heirloom craftsmanship. Masterfully hand-embroidered in soft, vibrant silk using precise lacing and running stitches, it features a central eight-pointed Turkmen star—symbolizing balance and protection—framed by a dynamic pinwheel border and layered floral motifs in rich natural dyes. Originally handcrafted by Turkmen and Uzbek women for weddings and ceremonial occasions, this silk cap offers rich tactile beauty and cultural depth. Its compact 6" scale makes it ideal as a tabletop artifact, framed wall art piece, or a meaningful ceremonial gift (such as a kippah/kippot).
