This monumental Bolinpush (a traditional ceremonial head-cover or marriage-bed textile for a bride) originates from the Samarkand region of Uzbekistan and dates to the mid-20th century, between 1940 and 1970. Measuring approximately 60 inches by 60 inches (152 cm x 152 cm), this square textile is in good condition, though it exhibits minor stains consistent with its age and ceremonial history. The piece is meticulously crafted with cotton embroidery on a neutral cotton base.
The central composition features a large, stylized sun medallion (paliak) rendered in dusty rose and magenta. The medallion is decorated with a ring of eight small floral "buds" and is dramatically framed by heavy, black swirling vine motifs (islimi) that radiate toward the corners. These black silhouettes feature serrated edges, a classic Samarkand design element that gives the piece an architectural, high-contrast energy. The field is enclosed by a wide border of repeating magenta rosettes connected by black floral stems, finished with a delicate, cream-colored geometric outer trim.
