Description

A vibrant Uzbek Suzani textile finely embroidered in silk threads on a natural cotton ground, featuring a spectacular central rosette composed of radiating petals in shades of red, blue, green, and yellow. Surrounding the medallion is a dense and lively arrangement of stylized flowers, scrolling vines, and boteh motifs, all rendered in characteristic regional colors and exhibiting the rhythmic balance of traditional Central Asian design.


The wide border continues the floral theme with large palmette-style blossoms and trailing tendrils, framing the composition with visual harmony. The reverse shows the typical long float stitches associated with hand-executed Suzani embroidery.
