Description
English: VOK Collection: Suzani 47

The Vok Collection comprises two group A suzanis. Very similar in appearance, the two items are documented as A2 and A10 in the monograph, "The Great Embroideries of Bukhara" published by Franses. The suzani A10 was sold at our first Vok auction (11th April 2015, lot 88) and discussed in detail; we refer readers to the respective catalogue entry. In comparison, A2 appears to be even more powerful than A10: it is somewhat larger in size, and the shield-shaped, fully embroidered medallion fills the field almost completely. Unlike A10, where two of the circular blossoms in the field corners contain a multi-pointed star, all four corners of A2 show the same "spoked wheel" motif. – Good condition. Backed with fabric.
