These unique and spectacular embroideries are credited to Pskent which lays south of Tashkent in eastern Uzbekistan.. The standout feature of this type of suzani is that the ground is entirely smothered with profusely covering the entire surface fabric with stitched embroidery. Technically perhaps the simalr to the manner of Khujand in neighbouring North Tajikistan. This is unlike those of the more typical and better known work associated with planetary style of Bukhara and Samarkand whose stitching shows more similarities to that of Bukhara
