Highly decorative silk Ikat panel made in Margilan in the Ferghana Valley, Uzbekistan, in the late 19th century. Ikat weaving is an extremely complicated process which involves tie-dyeing the silk warps before the weaving takes place. The material thus produced was usually made into robes which only the wealthiest could afford and which always denoted a high social standing.
In this full-width panel the warps as well as the wefts are made of silk, which gives the panel an iridescence that textiles woven with a cotton weft don't possess in the same way.
The panel is mounted and in excellent condition
