About the craftsmanship
Afghan artisans are skilled in a range of embroidery techniques, handed on through generations. The style used on the peacock is Pukhtadozi.  ‘Pukhta’ means strong and ‘dozi’ means embroidery – the technique originated in Uzbekistan, until Nomadic Uzbeks took the tradition to neighbouring countries, including Afghanistan.
