The intricately designed skullcaps, known as "qalpaks," are displayed on a low table, their soft, pliable material inviting touch. The women in the photograph are completely veiled, their faces hidden beneath traditional burkhas. Their attire reflects the deeply rooted Islamic traditions of the region, which emphasize modesty and the preservation of feminine dignity. The skull caps, an essential part of the Islamic headwear for men, are also an integral aspect of the culture and identity of the Uzbek people.
