Tajik women are good at embroidery and artistic weaving. Their woven saddle pads, horse clothes and belts are decorated with patterns, and they can use various colors of cloth to spell out various geometric patterns on pillows and aprons, which are called "patchwork" or "cloth distribution". The patterns are symmetrical and harmonious, and the colors are bright.

Some are like flowers, others are like gems, each with its own characteristics. In addition, saddle, whip and other daily necessities are mostly decorated with patterns, and some are inlaid with silver and copper wires, which are quite gorgeous.
