Central Asia, South West Uzbekistan Nurata Suzani
Middle of 19th Century Central Asia, South West Uzbekistan Nurata Suzani
This classic suzani from the town of Nurata north east of Bokhara displays four large, diagonal flowering trees in the corners of the field and a floral star at the field centre. Six flowering shrubs are grouped around it. To the left and right of the central medallion we see a feline predator with a polychrome striped body and a tail held high. They are probably depictions of lions. While many suzani designs incorporate small birds or snakes, larger animals such as lions, tigers or elephants are fairly rare. In the wide main border, slender green leaves form a diamond lattice whose compartments are filled with different leaves and palmettes. – Slight signs of age and wear, backed with calico.Size 154 x 236 cm

During the 18th/19th centuries, the city of Kerman was the most important Iranian centre for the production of such woollen fabrics with woven designs, known as "termeh". They were probably modelled on older Kashmir shawls from North India. Indian and Persian fabrics are so alike that it is often difficult to establish their provenance. – This extremely fine textile woven on polychrome warps shows a typical design of wide, white and saffron vertical stripes filled with filigree flowering vines. They are separated by narrow dividing stripes in dark blue and red. – Cut horizontally across the centre and rejoined, minor holes, new overcasting along the sides.Size 123 x 125 cm
