The textile is densely decorated with traditional Central Asian floral and paisley motifs, including a dramatic trio of oversized boteh designs surrounded by rows of smaller boteh and colorful stylized flowers. The embroidery incorporates beautiful muted shades of cream, pale blue, pink, coral, gold, red, and soft green, creating an incredibly intricate and decorative surface.

Originally created as an ornamental horse covering, this piece is equally beautiful displayed today as a wall hanging, textile art, bed or furniture accent, or incorporated into an eclectic collection of Central Asian textiles.

The fringed edges and handmade detailing give the piece wonderful texture and movement. It is particularly impressive for its near-perfect vintage condition, with the embroidery remaining remarkably well preserved.
