A Karshi Suzani showing an eight-pointed, central floral star and two large blossoming trees whose branches extend in fan shapes to the sides and corners of the field. Four large leaf shapes have been arranged diagonally in the corners and filled with polychrome overlapping circles. Unlike the dynamic, lively design of the field, the border of circular and cruciform flowers, each surrounded by four green lancet leaves in a diamond shape, appears calm and static. – Good condition, backed with fabric.
