The third door hanging, and the one that is easiest to use on a wall, because the ground is a single colour: red cotton throughout, with a plain centre and a deep embroidered frame on all four sides. The frame carries a run of roundels in orange, white and black joined by a scrolling vine, with an inner line of small motifs — the previous listing identified a jug among them, a motif that does occur on Uzbek embroideries; look for it in the close-up photographs. Corners are turned cleanly, which is not always the case on household pieces.
Silk thread on cotton, hand-embroidered in the Soviet period. Vintage, shown as it is.
