Little History – Suzani is a type of embroidered and decorativetribal textile mostly made in Uzbekistan or other Central Asian countries. Fromthe Persian - Suzan which means needle. The art of making such textiles iscalled Suzankori (needlework). Suzanis usually have a cotton (sometimes silk)fabric base, which is embroidered in silk or cotton thread. Chain, satin, andbuttonhole stitches are the primary stitches used. There is also extensive useof couching, in which decorative thread laid on the fabric as a raised line isstitched in place with a second thread. Suzanis are often made in two or morepieces that are then stitched together. Popular design motifs include sun andmoon disks, flowers (especially tulips, carnations, and irises), leaves andvines, fruits (especially pomegranates), and occasional fish and birds.

Suzanis have beentraditionally made by Central Asian brides as part of their dowry, and werepresented to the groom on the wedding
