Abrbandi
Ikats of Central Asia
Lucien de Guise
Abrbandi: Ikats of Central Asia celebrates the artistic and technical virtuosity of the silk designers dyers and weavers of Central Asia at the close of the 19th century. Ikat textiles played many important economic and social roles at that time when robes and hangings were given in payment for services rendered as dowry and bride price and as highly esteemed gifts. Beyond the borders of Central Asia ikat textiles had political value in diplomatic exchange as gifts between rulers. For peoples outside Central Asia as well as for travelers and colonists in the region ikat fabrics came to symbolize the exoticism of the Islamic world.
