Ilgich late 19th-early 20th century

"Ilgich" is a late 19th-early 20th century textile piece created by Kungrat artists. This embroidered square, featuring a repeating floral motif on a black background, is an example of intricate Central Asian needlework. The piece is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It measures 23 x 21 1/2 in. (58.42 x 54.61 cm) and showcases a diverse range of colors in its threadwork. This decorative textile is a testament to the traditional craftsmanship of the Kungrat people.
