This type of claw believe its from Uzbekistan is from an indeterminate Therizinosauroidea dinosaur .  Therizinosaurs are distinctive theropod dinosaurs with various features suggestive of herbivorous habits and in no way related to raptors.

 

Claw from my collections that is similar to the one you posted. Its a foot claw not hand.

Many thanks.

It is very rare date about Therizinosauroidea from Uzbekistan on the internet.

How to tell if it's hand claw or foot claw?

Your claw is a foot claw

 

There are several features but the easiest way is to look at the articulation surface.

 

A hand claw articulation knotch  is smaller, located higher and typically shaped as a half moon

A foot claw has a much wider articulation surface, usually spaning most of the distal end of the claw
