Сenturies-old traditions of hand-woven silk and cotton fabrics in Uzbekistan have been an essential part of natiional clothes, culture and interior. It is worth to say about ancient traditions of hand-made fabrics, which are called the Ikat on the West. This name came from Indonesia and originated from the verb “mengikat”, which means “to bundle”. It is a very ancient way of creating designs in fabric by resist-dyeing the threads before the fabric is woven. In Uzbekistan such technique is called the abrband, which in Persian means “tying a cloud”, and the fabrics produced by such a method are called “abra” fabrics. Ikat patterns were noted by its diversity; each school of silk weaving differed by their local artistic peculiarities. Patterns were named after shapes they resembled. The most wide-spread ornaments were “tumorcha” – amulet, “tarok” – comb, “gadjak” – jewelry, “bodom” – almond, “darakht” – tree, “anor” – pomegranate, “Oy” – the Moon, “shokh” – horn, “chirog” – lampad, “ilon izi” – snake trail, “kapalak” – butterfly, “chayon” – scorpion, and etc.
