Bugzhoma or Bedding Ornament Pillow

All of it red, and then some, in carefully stitched circles.

This bugzhoma, or bedding ornament pillow, comes from Uzbekistan and is cotton, made in the 20th century. Embroidered covers like this are often associated with displaying bedding stacks. A big white and black rosette sits at the center of a red field, with scrolling leaves in cream and lavender. A border of small orange and yellow flowers frames the panel. The stitching is dense and a little faded in places.

About 25 by 28 inches. An armful of color for a chair or a bed.
