The Uzbek tribes are not confined to Uzbekistan; they are to be found all over central Asia especially Turkmenistan and northern Afghanistan. They produce a wide variety of piled rugs and flatweaves. Up to the turn of the 20th century weaving carpets was exclusively the domestic craft of women living in rural areas. Although the demand for carpets was stable and high among the urban population, they were not made in towns and cities.
