An rectangular embroidered hanging (suzani or djoinamaz) composed of a black cotton ground embroidered in floral designs and featuring a central architectural motif in the form of a pointed archway or prayer niche (mihrab). The mihrab is defined by a narrow border of stylized floral designs and is surrounded by large floral roundels. Within the prayer niche itself there are no designs except for some floral motifs at the very top. The entire hanging is surrounded by a 2-1/8' wide floral meander border. The embroidery is worked in purple, yellow, green, white, magenta, blue, and pink silk threads using a combination of laid and couched (Bokhara?), chain, and possibly double chain stitches. The ground is composed of six pieces of black cotton twill fabric of uneven sizes joined together. The hanging is lined in cotton with a pillar, ribbon, and flower pattern printed in green, pinks, and blues. The lining is machine stitched to the foundation or ground fabric with four vertical rows in contrasting thread. The hanging is bound by a narrow yellow tape 1/4' wide attached with machine stitching.
