Late Period (Late 19th)     Samarkand region     185 x 260 cm

Suzanis from Samarkand can be distinguished by the oversized scale of their designs, their lively style of drawing and specific colour scheme. The extra-wide border stands out in this example; the actual field is comparatively small. – Several restored areas, small holes, stains. The embroidery has worn away in places.
