As is typical of Tashkent Suzanis, large sections of the ground have been left unembroidered, making the designs stand out in an especially striking way. Four diagonal flowering trees branch off from a violet-red circular flower placed at the centre of the field. The four corners of the wide main border are each accentuated by a circular flower, with small, widely spaced flowering trees aligned either horizontally or diagonally placed between them. – Signs of age and wear, many stains, torn in places, two damaged corners. Not backed with fabric; the damaged sections have been stabilised with adhesive tape on the reverse.
