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.
