I would like to present you the most impressing part of Uzbek handmade embroideries - Suzani. This name of the exquisite silk mural embroideries comes from Persian "sozan" which means "a needle". Uzbek Silk Handmade Suzanis give us an opportunity to have a great insight into the old culture and tradition of this land. Such works of art were prepared and used for ceremonial events like wedding, fittings for horses and horsemen, and the general embellishment of reception areas. Traditionally this embroidery work began at the birth of a daughter and continued, with the help of family and friends, until the bride's dowry was complete. The patterns of Suzanis are an expression of women's mood and fantasies; and not only that...Most of all, Suzanis are the last exponents of an age-old tradition which draw our attention by its mystery and beauty. This is very large Uzbek-Ottoman silk embroidered Suzani. It has a pattern typical for old Ottoman Turkish embroidery. The significant feature of this item is that there's very small empty space. It is almost entirely filled with beautiful embroidery. The whole field of the article is filled with colourful blooming bushes where the big various elvish flowers with winding branches complete this beautiful Suzani. The item impress by its wonderful bright colors, large size and perfect needlework. The background of the embroidery is natural silk velvet with very soft short pile; the embroidery is made of silk. This Suzani makes delightful wall hanging, bedspread, furniture throw, or even tablecloth! Stitch: chain. Size: 95 x 108 in/241 x 274 cm. Condition: excellent.
