In the field of this Bokhara Suzani, circular and fan-shaped blossoms, lancet leaves and many small flowers have been arranged in a dense surface design surrounding a central floral star. The structure of the composition is created by delicately drawn green leaves that frame the motifs or groups of motifs. The designs of the main border are larger and more spaciously arranged. Faded to yellow, the heavily patinated cotton ground and the warm colours of the design suggest a rather early date. – Signs of age and wear, several holes and tears. The original fabric backing and ikat bands along the sides have been preserved.
