In contrast to the delicately-embroidered intricacy of suzanis from the Emirate of Bukhara, those produced in Kokand favour bold blocks of colour. Large red roundel flowerheads appear on Tashkent suzanis, and also those woven in nearby Pskent. What makes Pskent embroidery distincitve is that often, as here, the work leaves no part of the ground visible on the face, and is executed using a somewhat heavier stitch than those from Tashkent (Daniel Shaffer, "A silken dowry", HALI 57, P.176).
The overall composition of this embroidery is comparable to an example which sold Rippon Boswell, Wiesbaden, 25 May 2013, lot 88, including similar minor stripes and a square frame around the central medallion. This example, however, includes a broader colour palette with extensive use of blues and oranges throughout.
