New, never worn.
Size 59-60; size 55 is also available.
Made in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan.
It is a very high quality masterpiece, completely hand-stitched in comparison with some sewing machine stitched ones sold in souvenir stores. They usually cover heads of high officials and other important persons.
A tubeteika (Russian: тюбете́йка) is a Russian word for many varieties of traditional Central Asian caps. Tubeteikas are today worn in Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, as well as in Muslim-populated regions of Russia (mainly Tatars) and Azerbaijan. The skullcap worn by Uzbeks and Uyghurs is called a doppa and has a square base.
Tubeteikas are worn typically by the Turkic ethnic groups in the region. It bears some superficial resemblance to the yurt, another Central Asian cultural icon.
