a visually dazzling antique Uzbek silk on silk Ikat hanging from Bukhara dating to third quarter of the 19th century. It is silk warp and silk weft Abr Ikat with a lovely sheen on the surface. The simple but visually dazzling spot motif resmebles modern art. One can see from such a piece what could have inspired the spot paintings of modern artist Damien Hirst. The natural yellow and red colours work beautifully. In mint condition. Size: 189cm x 137cm (74.5" x 54")
