Amulet ikat pattern white, black and yellow table runner
An amulet is a charm that protects a wearer of the amulet from negative energy. Be it a myth or a truth one thing is certain - human brain in itself is a powerful protection mechanism. If one believes that amulets protect them, then amulets really protect them.
Amulet pendants were made from silver and adorned with precious and semi-precious stones. Men were jewelers who made amulets but it was women who wore them. The details of the amulets could tell a lot about a woman's status - a tribe she belonged to, whether she was a young girl or a mature woman. Here is an example of an amulet from 19th century from Karakalpanistan.

This fabric is a true artisanal handloom woven product, NOT a print. The fabric carries the warmth and energy of ikat artisans who, by the way, are the 9th generation of ikat artisans.
Back fabric: natural cotton fabric.
Both front and back fabrics were entirely made in Uzbekistan using locally cultivated silk and locally grown cotton.
