  • Wonderfull colors! Is it for women? or also for men?

  • I believe they  were worn by women and men. I do not know how to tell which this is for. I do wear it myself, but it is very long, so perhaps it was made for a man.

  • from what i have seen of the older ikats the female coats have a very distinct waistline . much shapelier. i probably have a lady ikat will try to add a pic tomorrow.

  • Thanks Patti and Tribal. Interesting information about these beautiful  coats.

  • Beautiful ikat
  • Beutiful colors and patterns. see the jewelry on the bottom? two koran tumar..

  • It is true -- Uzbek ikat and jewellery utilize the same shapes, blend beautifully together. 

  • Oh yes, the design in the textile is the same as the jewelry. I need to find some Uzbek jewelry to wear with this.

  • Notice on the back the amulets? makes this more valuable ..

  • Linda-Do you mean the two orange colored designs near the bottom?
