Hand Embroidered Suzani Star Pillow Uzbekistan (19x19)

Suzani hand stitched pillow from a studio in Uzbekistan. Suzanis are created by the once nomadic people who populated the ancient silk road of Uzbekistan. Suzanis were originally crafted as dowry pieces that a mother would help lovingly create for her daughter’s wedding day. It was believed that the patterns and colors in a suzani held talismanic powers of protection and these powers were magically transferred from the mother into the suzani through the visual impact of her embroidery work.

Embroidery done with 100% silk threads on a cream ground cloth made of 50/50 silk and cotton. Back cloth made of cotton with a hidden zipper in the middle. Embroidery colors: red wine, taupe, dusty sage, butter yellow, and white. 

We have a couple of these so please allow for small variations.
