Mid 19th Tashkent Suzani
AGE: 1850-1870
PRICE: Please Inquire
Here is a truly antique example of Uzbek embroidery portraying many moons. This design has incredible resonance with North American Indians who also counted time with the moon and its phases. The generous use of a fine green plus the unusual refinement of an ordinary motif leads me to date this suzani to the mid-19th century. Here is a fine Uzbek embroidery to add to you collection.
