HELLO AND WELCOME!
The present item is a vintage Uzbek handmade embroidery suzani. The age of this suzani is 1975 - it has this date embroidered on it. The pattern of this suzani is composed of an emblem of Uzbek Soviet Socialistic Republic (UzSSR).
The foundation of embroidery is cotton fabric. Embroidery is made in cotton threads.
SIZE: 62 x 28 inches.
CONDITION: good, has few stains- please see the last photo.
From old times there is a tradition in Uzbek homes according to which young girls in the family must prepare embroidered panels for their dowry. From early age girls were taught the art of handmade embroidery by their mothers and grandmothers. Suzanis were not made for the purpose of selling in those days – they were prepared by women inside a family to impress the future husband and his family, to be given as a present, and of course to decorate the house, especially on a wedding day.
There is an interesting tradition in suzanis – to leave some part of embroidery unfinished. This was made on purpose so that “the weddings go on in the family”, “the daughter would live long and happiness would not finish”
PAYMENT AND SHIPPING: I ship worldwide. Shipping prices will depend on weight. Shipping price for this item is $25. I send items within three days after payment. Delivery usually takes 3 - 4 weeks.
I welcome any of your questions and suggestions!
Thank you!
