Note: accompanying image shows about 75% of entire textile.  This monumental suzani originates from Uzbekistan and dates to the mid-20th century. Measuring 96 inches by 110 inches (244 cm x 279 cm), the textile is composed of three separate vertical panels stitched together, a traditional construction method for large-scale Uzbek embroideries. The accompanying documentation shows approximately 75% of the entire textile, which remains in excellent condition.

The composition is characterized by dense, vibrant embroidery that covers nearly the entire surface, with the white cotton background cloth visible only in the small interstices between stitches. The central field features six large, plum-colored circular medallions, each framed by a bold, cream-colored serrated or "wave" border. The space between these primary medallions is filled with a rhythmic pattern of smaller plum-and-black floral discs set against a swirling dark ground. Uniquely, the textile is finished with a wide outer border featuring a pink and white Ikat-patterned trade cloth, providing a sharp geometric contrast to the organic, hand-embroidered interior.
