Uzbek tubetika (classical) #1

The Uzbek tubeteika is a traditional cap, also known as a “kalpok” or “doppi”. This headpiece is made with special care and attention to detail – each pattern and ornament is hand embroidered using silk and viscose threads. Tubeteika national embroidery is not only aesthetically appealing, but also adds a special cultural value to the headdress.

• Size: 16 x 16 cm.

Meaning of design and symbolism:

Each element of tubeteika – the colours, lines and ornaments – has a deep symbolic meaning rooted in ancient Uzbek traditions and beliefs. These designs often reflect the dual forces of the world, such as life and death, light and darkness, earth and sky, good and evil. The tubeteika is not just a headdress; it is a symbolic link to ancient Uzbek cultural values and understandings of life. This unique tubeteika will be a great addition to your wardrobe, creating both an ethnic accent and a reminder of ancient cultural traditions.
