Great weaving. The Applied Arts Museum has all sorts of stuff: rugs, clothing, woodwork, metalwork, anything to which one can, well, apply some artistry. The textile work is the highlight of the place.
Too lovely to throw on a bed or table, the impressive embroidered design work known as suzani.
From nothing to special something, a rug being weaved. Decked out in iconic ikat. Why stop at one layer?
A room full of ikat strips and an example of the loom used for ikat weaving.
Psychedelica, put together. A nice variety of the traditional Uzbek cap, the topi or doppi.
Taking a closer look at the dizzying detail of the suzani handiwork.
