N2 - The history museum of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic owns two 19th century rugs called 'Julkhyrs, ' which were made by people, from the Bukhara and Samarkand regions of Uzbekistan, who were semi-nomadic and engaged in small cattle breeding. In appearance and conditions both julkhyrs, KP 60-a-1947, and KP 60-b-1947, are fragmented specimens, whose corners and pile are worn. One important feature of the rugs is that they are not woven as a whole, but consist of several narrow strips sewn together. KP 60-a-1947 is 241 cm long and 100 cm wide, while KP 60-b-1947 is 243 cm long and 109 cm wide. The yarn of the rug has been dyed in colors that include, light and dark red, dark green, dark blue, and white, using natural dyestuffs. Both julkhyrs consist of a large central field filled with large repeating medallions and surrounded by side borders. In antique julkhyrs, the central field is larger than the modern ones, and the border has a simpler pattern. The details of the archaic techniques used in the production of these antique rugs contribute to the understanding of the history of pile-weaving worldwide.
