Uzbek Silk Ikat Robe.

Silk Ikat robe for a lady, or Munisak, from Uzbekistan dating to the late 19th century.

Ikat weaving is an extremely complicated process in which the silk warps are tie-dyed prior to the weaving, each colour requiring a separate dyeing procedure. This produces the basic outline of the design. The finished pattern is achieved in a complex weaving process which only very accomplished weavers can master.

Silk warp and cotton weft; original Russian printed cotton lining and silk embroidery under the arms. Quilted.
