 Here is a very old Kirgiz ilgich which measures 36" x 36".
The condition is complete but the base fabric that has been 
embroidered on was an older piece of cloth when the embroidery 
was done and has a few small holes in the background cloth. The
quality of the colors and the intricate weaving and strong 
design suggest this is very old (probably mid 19th. Century 
or earlier. Note the very graphic spider or scorpion design
border (with the best ones done in the bottom corners and looking
more like scorpions - these two icons were often used by the women
in this part of central Asia
