Color-Form Syncretism in Regional Costume Complexes of Uzbekistan: A Corpus-Based Model for Coding Visual-Material Attributes

Regional costume records document how color, textile technique, and garment construction meet within individual objects, but uneven catalog detail makes these relations difficult to compare across collections. This study develops a corpus-based model for identifying source-demonstrated color-form syncretism in regional costume complexes of Uzbekistan. A bounded set of museum objects is analyzed together with craft-practice context records and separate visual and comparative modules. The model codes material, technical, chromatic, constructive, regional, and functional evidence while keeping documentation coverage distinct from relational qualification. Across the primary object corpus, ground or assembly technique provides the broadest recurrent pathway through which chromatic surface becomes part of constructive form; decoration and regional attribution refine that pattern. A blinded second coding pass showed high agreement, and alternative specifications preserved the main configuration structure. The model offers an auditable research layer for comparing heterogeneous public records without treating descriptive density as equivalent to material relation. Its claims concern recurrence within the bounded corpus, providing a reproducible basis for broader cross-collection testing.
