A popular Uzbek saying says: "The house begins where a carpet extends". In Uzbekistan, the carpet is a symbol of the wealth and prosperity of a family and, therefore, it is always part of the gifts offered to young people at their wedding. The Kizil-Ayak  are an ethnic minority of Turkic origin who settled in Uzbekistan south of the Aral Sea. This carpet belongs to a rare type of tribal carpet with a brown area with two rows of octagons that immediately bring to mind the typical Turkmen carpet chute. At the same time, the two-headed animals represent purely tribal elements.
