Uzbekistan, Tashkent – AN Podrobno.uz. The famous Baysun skullcap has officially received geographical indication status. The name and distinctive features of this traditional headwear from Surkhandarya are now legally protected.

The geographical indication status means that the skullcap's name is now legally tied to a specific territory — the Baysun district. This will help preserve the product's unique characteristics and traditional manufacturing methods, providing a solid foundation for sustaining local craftsmanship.

Moreover, the new status creates a legal basis for promoting Baysun products both domestically and in international markets. It will also aid in preserving traditional crafts and the specific features of local production, which is particularly important in the face of globalization.

The Baysun skullcap is a national headwear that has been made in the Baysun region for many years. It is decorated with embroidery in the traditional piltadozi technique. The skullcap's uniqueness lies in its combination of bright colors, geometric patterns, and traditional sewing methods.

The ornaments feature motifs such as chilhol, chaengul, kochkorshohi, archa, and kuzacha. Earlier, the country approved labeling for goods indicating their place of origin.
