As a fortified town it has enjoyed considerable strategicl, commercial and social importance throughout the history of Central Asia.TheKilims woven there are extremely fine, soft and light, and can onlyreally serve as covers, for which use they were originally intended.The compositions of these textiles are very similar in appearance tothe Uzbek Tatari (safid) Kilims from Sar-i-pul(Nord-Afghanistan) although they can be distinguished by the quality oftheir wool, and the tightness of their weave.
