Central Asia is justifiably famous for its textiles, which include
rugs and tribal trappings, elaborate embroideries and colorful
ikats. Textile production spans the extremes of rich, urban
court centers to the open, nomadic steppes, and bridges Europe
and China. Cultural influences have migrated along the trade
routes across this region for millennia. We have lived on
the edge of this region, and been exposed to and able to collect
a sampling of its textile wealth. Here we offer a small portion
of our collection. |
