Central Asian Qırğızstan (Kyrgyzstan) - Qırğız Silk Embroidered Tuş Kiyiz

The Tuş Kiyiz, also referred to as a Tus Kiiz by the Qazaq, is a traditional Qırğız (Kyrgyz) textile craft. They were originally made by older women as a wedding gift to their children and grandchildren. Designs were usually cosmic and symbolized rural life in high valleys. They were traditionally silk embroidered. Nowadays, they have become very rare; since, they never became commercialized for foreigners, unlike the Şırdaq (Shyrdak). 

It is dated between the 19th and 20th century
