3 foot 7 inch by 5 foot 9
inch.
The more Suzani I see the
more convinced I am that this must be a Suzani Embroidery
Wall Hanging from Bukhara. I
base that on the leaf like trellis and the pomegranate blossom field
with the floral disk border. The work appears to be tambour hooked
twisted silk on cotton. Such work is seen in pieces attributed to
Bukhara.
It is traditional for those
young ladies who can to make one of these for their dowry to be used as
wall hangings for special occasions. As such when one of these has
stayed in Asia until very recently as this one has, they stay in great
shape with great color. The faded ones generally came to the west much
earlier and are exposed to more light. This one has been cared for.
