Wood carvings are mainly windows, doors, caskets, chests, ustuns (ustun is 
wooden carved columns), lattices, toys, etc. Khorezm masters (Ota Polvonov) 
and others succeeded in this direction. Products made by Ota Polvonov are 
separated from others by their carved patterns and ornaments, grace and unusual 
composition. The main elements of his work are similarity to natural 
phenomena, such as plants or plant petals, buds opening or flowering fruits. 
Tashkent masters S. Khuzhayev, Niyozkoriev, M.Yu.Kosimov, O. Fayzulaev 
mainly worked in the style of “girih” (girih is a special style of applying patterns 
to wood, mainly geometric patterns are depicted). The work of the Kokand 
masters Kh. Nazhmiddinov and his son Kh. Khaidarov attracts attention here. 
In the art of woodcarving, a special place is occupied by the decoration of 
musical instruments. The decoration applied to musical instruments such as 
dutar (dutar is a two-stringed musical instrument), tanbur (tanbur is a three-
stringed musical instrument), chang (chang is a multi-stringed musical 
instrument similar to Russian musical instrument psalter, only the difference on

the chang can be played, both on sticks and on thimbles). This type of art is still 
well developed in Tashkent. 
Carving - embossing is one of the amazing forms of applied art. The Uzbek art 
of coinage is one of the oldest forms of art. Over the centuries, this type of art 
has developed and has deep roots. Coin products are mainly household items 
decorated with exquisite craftsmen and had unusual shapes. Mostly is used 
yellow and red copper. Decorated copper products and tools were mainly made 
in Bukhara, Samarkand, Kokand, Karshi and Khiva. Masters of these cities had 
their own style of manufacturing and decorating products. Among the minted 
items, the most common are lagans (lagan - a large, deep, flat tray of copper 
with carved round patterns), patnis (patnis - a large, not very deep tray of square 
or four carbon shapes), choyidish (choyidish - a copper product in the form of a 
teapot), oftoba ( oftoba - a product in the form of a jug or kungan), obdasta 
(obdasta - a product in the form of a mug or a cup).

(Kharezm), M. Zhonbekov, B .Yokubov, S. Khudoiberdiev, R. Soibov 
(Tashkent) are considered the most fruitful masters of this type of applied art.
