Early Period (Before 19th Century and Early 19th)     Kermina region     104 x 162 cm Nimsuzani

This early Nim Suzani, produced without secondary borders, is from Kermina. The field has small blossoms composed of four circles embedded in a delicate lattice. This particular type of blossom also belonged to the formal repertoire of Bokhara Suzanis, but the colour combination seen here, with blue and grey-brown segments, only occurs in Kermina. – Backed with fabric and mounted onto a wooden frame. The original decorative silk fringe has survived. Damage to the corner at the top right, where the ground weave is torn in several places.
