A large suzani on a pale peach cotton ground — the palest ground in the shop — with a composition that rewards a close look: a roundel in the centre, a regular grid of smaller floral roundels around it, vine sprays between them, and a continuous floral border. The stitching is fine and even across the whole cloth, and the colours are the reds, greens and ochres of the classic Bukhara-and-Nurata palette, kept light by the ground.
Silk thread on cotton, hand-embroidered in Uzbekistan. A Soviet-era piece — vintage, not antique — with the saturated dyes of its time and the small irregularities of hand work.

Character and use
