Kyrgyz embroideries Our Kyrgyz embroideries have been essentially collected in the Altai province of North-Western Mongolia, populated by Kyrgiz and Kazakh nomadic tribes. The majority of them are tent (yurt or ger in Mongolian) hangings or tush kiyiz (Kyrgyz) or tus kiiz (Kazakh). They were used during the wedding ceremonies and later hang along the back wall, facing the entrance (tor, the place of honor) of the yurt. They were deliberately left unfinished at the bottom to ensure that the marriage would continue to bring unbounded happiness. (See Meller2013)

Beautiful large Afghan embroidery with mirror work, nown as Shisha work. Shisha work is a type of applied decorative needlework that is characterised by small pieces of reflective material that are sewn onto a cloth ground material. This technique is also known as mirror embroidery. It is popular in many parts of Asia. The term derives from (Persian) shisheh for 'glass'.In earlier times, items such as coins, beetles, tin and silver were used as reflective embellishments in mirror work. Mica was then used as embellishments and was later replaced by the use of glass mirrors. The use of mirrors and the craft of mirror work stem from traditional Islamic beliefs: the mirrors help to trap or blind the evil eye, reflecting bad luck and evil spirits away from the wearer. By the late nineteenth-century shisha work of various types and styles was being produced in Afghanistan, China, Indonesia, India, Iran, as well as what was to become Pakistan.
