Suzani's are handmade embroidery panels sewn together to make a rug or heavy cloth. The word Suzani comes from the Uzbek language which means "embroidery with a needle" and the Persian word "suzan" which means needle.
Suzani's have become very popular for use as bedcoverings and rugs. The rugs are started as a part of the dowery for a girl when she is born. They are the only accessible way the women have to express their moods, feelings and fantasy therefore creating items that are full of emotional saturation. The best place to buy and see more suzani's is Antiquarian Textiles on Ebay.
