STUNNING UZBEK OTTOMAN SILK HANDMADE EMBROIDERY SUZANI BOLD TULIPS A6903I would like to present the most impressing part of Uzbek handmade embroideries - Suzani. This name of exquisite silk 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 weddings, fittings for horses and horsemen, and the general embellishment of reception areas. Traditionally the 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 Suzani are an expression of women's mood and fantasy. Suzanis are the last exponents of an age-old tradition which draw our attention by their mystery and beauty.The present item is the silk handmade embroidery from Uzbekistan. The Suzani has a pattern of an old Ottoman Turkish embroidery. The foundation of embroidery is home made and hand loomed natural silk-cotton Adras. Both the design and draughtsmanship of this embroidery are great. The design displays a pattern composed of impressive tulips with leafs. The graphic shape of each flower resembles the shape of Arabic letters used to inscribe the name of Allah. In many Eastern countries read more
