Description
Summary:The present study aims to examine the decorations of headgears in Ferghana during the period of the Khanate (the 12th-13th H./1Śh-19th G. centuries). It is a significant study because such decorations reflect the various political, artistic, and decorative aspects of the Islamic civilization of the time. The examined headgears were made of various materials, e.g., cotton and silk. Therefore, the study highlights the most important industrial and decorative styles, the methods of copying, and the colors of the decorations of headgears. The results showed that the floral decorations, e.g., Arabesque, and the interrelated floral decorations were ranked first. The geometric decorations, e.g., rectangles, squares, and circles, were also employed. In contrast, calligraphic decorations were rarely used.
