About the Item

This is not a simple embroidered suzani: it's a museum specimen, a challenge for private collection. This ancient piece was embroidered in the surroundings of the ancient central city of Bokhara, on the Silk Road. Many shades of green were used (sacred color), even the blue of "nil" (indigo). The yarns are dyed with vegetable substances, but the black was obtained with iron oxide, that corroded the yarn: how did it happen in many ancient carpets. Someone tried to finish it some years ago, but didn't finish the job. the artefact has some of special, like an unfinished masterpiece. Do You want to finish it ? Now with a good price, for my closing activities. ref. nr. 860
