Story:
The Uzbeks, followers of Uzbek Khan (1312-1340), a descendent of the Mongol ruler, Genghis Khan, were a powerful tribe that controlled a part of the Silk Road in the regions of Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Eastern Mongolia. Nomadic in nature, this fierce tribe was known to tax villages and merchants along the Silk Road. But in contrast to their fierce fighting skills on their beloved horses, they produced exquisite fabrics which they wore while travelling, fighting and dancing at their tribal victory celebrations. Here a victory is celebrated with pomp and fanfare.
