This antique Uzbek Jajim kilim is a flat-woven textile celebrated for its narrow, colourful bands and intricate tribal motifs. The design features alternating horizontal stripes in vivid red, indigo, ochre, and cream, adorned with geometric and symbolic patterns like hooked forms, zigzags, and stylised “S” shapes, each carrying protective or blessing meanings. It's fine, a tightly woven structure reflects the craftsmanship of Central Asian nomadic weavers, making it both a decorative and functional piece, traditionally used as a blanket, cover, or wall hanging. The vibrant palette and rhythmic striping give this kilim a lively, timeless charm.
