This striking Bolinpush (a traditional ceremonial cover for a bride) hails from the Samarkand region of Uzbekistan and dates to the mid-20th century, between 1940 and 1970. Measuring approximately 55 inches by 55 inches (140 cm x 140 cm), this square textile is in good condition, though it exhibits minor staining consistent with its age and ceremonial use. The piece is meticulously crafted with cotton embroidery on a neutral cotton base.

The central composition is dominated by a large, stylized sun medallion (paliak) in a deep madder red. The medallion is decorated with eight radiating floral sprays and is dramatically framed by heavy, black swirling vine motifs (islimi) that feature serrated, leaf-like edges. These black silhouettes create a powerful sense of movement radiating from the center toward the corners. The field is enclosed by a series of architectural borders, including a wide frame of repeating red rosettes connected by black floral stems, which anchors the piece's bold, graphic symmetry.
