Colors of the oasis : Central Asian ikats

"Ikats derive their name from the technique used to create them, wherein parts of the warp or weft are protected in order to resist dye ... The resulting textiles are recognized for their daring, often large designs, clever color combinations and dazzling palettes ... 185 ikat textiles [are presented here] from the collection donated to The Textile Museum since 2005 by Murad Megalli of Istanbul."--Publisher's web site
