Hand Embroidered Silk Suzani Green Wall Hanging Uzbekistan

Suzani hand stitched wall hanging. Suzanis are created by the once nomadic people who populated the ancient silk road of Uzbekistan. Suzanis were originally crafted as dowry pieces that a mother would help lovingly create for her daughter’s wedding day. It was believed that the patterns and colors in a suzani held talismanic powers of protection and these powers were magically transferred from the mother into the suzani through the visual impact of her embroidery work. From the studios of Sanjar Nazaroz, a UNESCO Award of Excellence winner. This size makes a beautiful wall hanging. Shimmering forest green silk ground cloth. Embroidery colors: brick red, chalky teal green, cream, chalky pink, light indigo blue white and black. There is a 1/2" black and tan woven band around the outside.
