Suzanis

Suzanis are traditional embroidered textiles from Central Asia, particularly from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan. These textiles are typically used as decorative wall hangings, bed covers, or prayer mats. Suzani embroidery is known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, often featuring floral motifs, vines, and other natural elements. The word "suzani" itself is derived from the Persian word "suzan," meaning needle, which highlights the detailed needlework involved in creating these beautiful pieces.
