FISH PONDS SUZANI FROM BUKHARA We are now presenting to you the most impressing part of Uzbek handmade embroideries - Suzani. This name of the exquisite silk embroideries comes from Persian "sozan" which means "a needle". Uzbek Silk Handmade Suzanis give us an opportunity to have an insight into the old culture and traditions of this land. Such works of Art were prepared and used for ceremonial functions like wedding doweries, fittings for horsemen and their horses, and the general embellishment of reception rooms. As soon as a daughter was born in family, the mother would start to make suzanis for her dowry, and later her daughter, too, would join her in this fine art. 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 mysteriousness and beauty. This one item is an extremely rare Uzbek Silk handmade embroidery Suzani from Bukhara, Uzbekistan. This region is famous for its great needleworks. The foundation of the silk handmade embroidery is thick cotton fabric. The suzani has an unusual pattern of stylized fishes swimming in ponds. This pattern takes its origin from old mythology, and fish is a symbol of fertility and happiness. The rosettes on the border are filled with mythological birds.
