This elegant mid-19th century Bukharian robe was created for a woman of status, reflecting the refined textile traditions of Central Asia. The outer layer is finely woven in silk on cotton, adorned with a complex floral and boteh (paisley) motif in luminous gold thread, enriched by accents of indigo blue. The vibrant fuchsia-purple background provides a striking contrast, enhancing the shimmering quality of the brocade.
