Small Samarkand Suzani embroidery - a Central Asian textile from Uzbekistan. This textile has a shiny orange background with a central Zoroastrian Sun Design at its centre - this needlepoint has been embroidered over a satin background and measures approximately 73cm wide by 75cm in length.  Can be used as a small table cover, wall hanging or as a special decoration for your room.  This size were originally used as mirror covers.

Suzani means needlepoint in Farsi and the background fabric of these textiles is usually either cotton, velvet, silk or satin with silk embroidery.  Minor tears can sometimes be present which is normal for these vintage older pieces and some of them have old Central Asian fabric backing.  All of our Uzbekistan Suzanis are original older pieces ranging from approximately 20 to 70 years.  Often pen is used as a marker for layout before embroidery starts and occasionally one can see some of the original pen outline which is normal for original pieces.
