Description
Some pieces are simply too spectacular to adequately describe with words, and this is one of them. This Suzani embroidery is a palace-sized piece of incredible detail. It evokes the feeling of the Garden of Paradise with an impressive variety of plant and animal life. This stunningly detailed piece was created by hand in the late 17th century and is remarkably well-preserved. Suzani is a word that means needle. They were produced throughout central Asian countries and were usually part of a bridal dowry or special political gifts. This one is from India. Its level of preservation supports that it was only brought out and used for special occasions.
