Bukhara Landscape Pillow - Uzbekistan

$89.00

Artisan: Rasuljon Mirzaahmedov

This pillow features a cotton-and-silk ikat covering, patterned on both sides, that has been hand-woven using a detailed 70-step process. The landscape-inspired design in vibrant shades of pomegranate and saffron is based on centuries-old patterns and colours.

The Uzbek term for “ikat” is “abrband” meaning literally “tying a cloud.” It is one of the oldest and most elaborate forms of textile design. Each thread is dyed with a pattern before it is woven, using traditional dyes made from natural materials, such as pomegranate and saffron. The threads are hand-woven into beautiful patterns and motifs traditional to the Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan.
