\"Suzani
\nMade of silk and cotton, textiles like this one are referred to as suzani<\/em>, which comes from the Farsi word for needle.\u00a0 Though they are found across Central Asia, the textiles originated in Uzbekistan and are most commonly created by Uzbek women, as this one is.\u00a0 Traditionally, brides and their mothers hand-embroidered the pieces to present to the groom on the wedding day.\u00a0 Often a girl and her mother began working on the textiles for her dowry before the age of 10.\u00a0 Female relatives and neighbors frequently joined in to help as the wedding approached.\u00a0 The embroidered pieces that a bride brought to the marriage demonstrated her family\u2019s wealth and status as well as her embroidery skills.\u00a0 Women could gain great esteem in their husband\u2019s family and in the community through their talent for embroidery.\u00a0 Suzani t<\/em>extiles like this one served as home decoration following the wedding.<\/p>\n

Common designs on suzani<\/em> textiles include flowers, vines, fruit, and suns.\u00a0 These motifs are meant to promote joy, health, long life, and fertility for the newly-married couple.\u00a0 This textile features a prominent floral design created with silk thread on a black background.\u00a0 It is a smaller suzani <\/em>piece at 14.5 inches by 15 inches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
