Beautiful Ikat clothing: In this portrait, Prokudin-Gorksii captures the traditional dress, jewelry, and hairstyle of an Uzbek woman standing on a richly decorated carpet at the entrance to a yurt, a portable tent used for housing by the nomadic peoples of Central Asia. After conquering Turkestan in the mid 1800s, the Russian government exerted strong pressure on the nomadic peoples to adopt a sedentary lifestyle and settle permanently in villages, towns, and cities. Photo by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, ca. 1907-1915. Digital color rendering. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division (LC-DIG-ppmsc-04442) (8)
