Tabla for Two was kindly invited to have a tour of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Washington, D.C. We were graciously hosted by Mr. Akhror Burkhanov. 

Our breath was taken away at every turn! There were such treasures to behold: an entire wall of ‘Tabla Beenies’ (Uzbek skullcaps), magnificent textiles (carpets, ikat, and suzanni), art work, copper ware, jewelry, and musical instruments. It was an absolute feast for the senses and the soul!

Tabla for Two was privileged to be invited by the Ambassador of the Embassy of Afghanistan in Washington, D.C. for a private viewing of the Afghan antiquities. It was exciting and moving to see these magnificent historical artifacts, dating back to the 3rd through 6th century. These treasures had been smuggled into the US and are now returned to Afghanistan where they belong.
