Stunning floral hand painted barrette on a brown background

Floral Art in a Hair Barrette – A Masterpiece by Koshib Omonov

This stunning hand-painted floral barrette is more than just a hair accessory; it’s a true piece of wearable art. Created by Uzbek artist Koshib Omonov, this barrette draws from ancient traditions of mural painting, bringing them to life on a smaller scale. The rich red and yellow flowers, surrounded by luscious green leaves, stand out against a beautiful milk-chocolate background, creating a captivating contrast that evokes the essence of timeless elegance.

Each barrette is carefully crafted from a paper-mache base, screwed to a sturdy metal clip. With three levels of adjustment, this accessory is versatile enough for both fine and thick hair, ensuring a comfortable fit for all. The delicate floral painting, touched with liquid bronze and sealed with several layers of lacquer, adds both a luxurious shine and lasting protection to this remarkable piece.

Exclusively made for UzbekAlive in 2005, this collectible barrette is signed with the artist’s name, the year of creation, and the UzbekAlive signature. With its roots in centuries-old ornamental painting traditions, this barrette transforms artistry into a sophisticated, wearable accessory that you can treasure for years to come.

There are very few barrettes by Koshib Omonov in existence, and what we offer on this website is likely the last of his work you can find anywhere. By purchasing this piece, you are not just buying a hair accessory—you’re investing in a limited-edition work of art that embodies tradition, craftsmanship, and history.
