''In Central Asia, home of the ancient Silk Route...cloth had enormous social importance. It was the cloth, not the clothing itself that showed ones status in society. Rituals that involved the presentation of robes, suits of clothing or raw cloth established mutual obligations..''  Kate Fitzgibbon, Susan Meller, Russian Textiles
