“The silk shop at the top of the stairs on the second floor of the Turquoise Department Store” in Tashkent… a favorite store of the Operation Mercy volunteers, it had no other name. This textile was purchased here. The stock included a range of styles. This predominantly blue textile has a traditional design (ram’s horns, Hand of Fatima motif, and medallions) in new color combination.
