This silk ikat chapan was handmade during the mid-20th century in Uzbekistan.
It features rows of red poppy-like circles on a pinkish white backdrop alternating with rows of yellow "S" motifs on a purple backdrop. Attached together in pieces, some are off-center and incomplete giving it a fun, dizzying feel.
A chapan which means "sewn together" is an overcoat that is adorned with a variety of colors and patterns. It is traditionally worn throughout Central Asia.
This lovely chapan is crafted silk in serrated blocks of blue, white and two shades of purple. The floral liner is made of soviet fabric. A very graphic and eye catching piece with a contemporary feel.
In Good condition; with some light staining.
