Ikat Panel
3rd quarter of 19th century
Description
This wallhanging is made from two striking geometric-patterned ikats from the Samarkand region. The side panels, with floral patterns on a white ground, are of a somewhat rare design. Although the forms are relatively simple, the number and saturation of the colors indicates an early date. It illustrates a warp-face plain weave.
