Black-edged almond and teardrop shapes run around a white ground, each with a pale blue centre and a fringe of small black dashes. Monochrome with one cool accent, it is the calmest of the round bolsters.

Where it goes
It works on a white or charcoal sofa and in a black-and-white bedroom; a pale blue or grey square cushion picks up its accent. See the rest of the ikat bolster covers, or the lumbar cushion covers in the same cloth.
How this ikat is made
The pattern is tied and dyed into the warp threads before a single row is woven: abrbandi, the cloud-binding. Every soft edge is the dye finding its way past a tie. The cloth is handwoven in Margilan, in the Fergana Valley; the cover is cut and sewn in our own workshop in Bukhara.
