Summary
DescriptionUzbekistan embroidery.jpg
English: Parandja, a robe that was women's wear, detail. Displayed at the Museum of Applied Arts in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Early 20th century. Velvet, silk threads and handmade embroidery. The robe almost completely covered the wearer. The Soviets banned the parandja in 1927 in an effort to stop Islamic customs. Nonetheless, it took many more years for the parandja to completely disappear.
Français : La parandja est un vêtement qui a été porté par les femmes de l'Ouzbékistan jusqu'au milieu des années 1920. Cette cape les recouvrait totalement. Souhaitant abolir la pratique de l'Islam et rétablir l'égalité entre les sexes, les soviétiques l'ont interdite en 1927. Elle a néanmoins mis des années à disparaître. Ouzbékistan / Tachkent / Le musée des arts décoratifs. Broderie en soie et velvet
