Ikat, Silks of Central Asia, the Guido Goldman Collection, 1997
Located in San Francisco, CA
Abr-bandi, the central asian name for the ikat technique, derives from the
Persian word abr which means "cloud". The ikat style is not limited to Central
Asia, but nowhere have the ikat designs known as abr, or the technique itself

Uzbek and Tadjik handicrafts- Bukhara, Samrkand and the towns of the
Ferghana Valley.
The craftsmanship of the abr masters, the abr bandchi, was their patrimony;
their secrets and their repertoire of designs were handed down through the
generations. Yet this art form has always been responsive to change and
receptive to new weaving methods created to simplify the process without
sacrifice of artistry.
In the nineteenth century abr designs were used to decorate fabrics made into
winter and summer...
