Cut to a single-bed proportion, 135 × 205 cm, and embroidered almost edge to edge. Down the centre run three large roundels, each a different combination of red, blue, yellow and pink petals, inside a rectangular frame of vines; around that frame a wide border is packed with smaller roundels, flowers and blue-and-pink vines, so that very little black shows anywhere. It is the busiest of the black-ground pieces and the one made to be seen flat on a bed rather than hung.
Silk thread on cotton, hand-embroidered in Uzbekistan. Newly embroidered for Alesouk in the traditional stitches; it arrives clean, even and bright.
