A rare Suzani from Nurata. The field, showing a central circular medallion and four large, diagonal flowering trees, is clearly separated from the extra-wide border. The wide spaces between the flowering trees and the shrubs in the border adds to the impression that a smaller field has been superimposed on the field. The Suzani is pleasing on account of its elegant style of drawing, harmonious and mellow colours and loving details, such as the delicate panicles, the two water jugs and two small birds in the field. Two comparable Suzanis are in the Museum für Völkerkunde Berlin (Rickmers Collection) and the Vok Collection. – Backed with fabric and padded. Several holes in the foundation, restored areas.
