DescripciónSuch square double ikats were produced in Andra Pradesh for use as head cloths by Muslim men. They were exported for generations to Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Middle East, East Africa, Burma, and probably to Southeast Asia. The warps are tied ready for dyeing at their full length, whereas the wefts are tied in groups on a frame, fanning out to form the segment of a cricle from a central peg.
