Suzani are silk embroideries that have been woven in Uzbekistan for many hundreds of years, they are treasured family items woven by the ladies of a family usually to celebrate a wedding or other special occasion. They are then used to decorate the inside of the Yurt or family home. They are usually embroidered in silk on on a cotton, silk, linen or wool ground. The suzani is often backed with a fine cotton lining to give it strength and body. Suzani can be used in the modern home as wall hangings, bed covers or decorative throws.
This example is of a format known as 'ro-i-jo', this was a cover for the nuptial bed, embroidered in silk and cotton couching stitch on a very shiny green silk brocade ground. It was probably woven in Southern Uzbekistan by ladies of Tajik origin.
The condition is excellent with only very slight wear and no repairs, there are a few very small holes in the silk. The suzani is backed with printed Russian cotton.
The suzani is ready for display.
