It features intricate bullion embroidery (metallic gold or silver-toned coiled wire threads) hand-stitched onto a fabric backing.
The piece showcases a classic central medallion layout styled with stylized floral motifs, scrolling vine borders, and geometric radiating symmetry. This style is closely tied to Suzani and traditional Islamic geometric arts.
The textile has been preservation-mounted with a double mat and framed under glass in a decorative metallic-finish frame to protect the delicate metallic threads. See less
