拍品专文

The controlled floral decoration organised around an axis, the use of shrub patterns and the central eight-pointed star medallion of the present susani are typical of pieces produced in the Nurata region, in south central Uzbekistan. Between the diagonal floral sprays one can identify an embroidered ewer flanked by birds, each believed in that region to bring good fortune. A related example is in the Marshall and Marilyn R. Wolf Collection (Ernst J. Grube, Keshte, Central Asian Embroideries, Station, 2003, cat.14).
