Ornamented using the "zaminduzi-gulduzi" technique; the composition style is "buttador." "Rumcha" ("Byzantine"), unlike traditional tunic-style robes, had cut-out armholes and shoulder seams and represented an intermediate type of garment between the old robes and the cut-out camisoles that came into fashion in Central Asia in the late 19th century.
