Vintage Uzbek suzani, silk on a dark pink cotton ground.
 
Circa 1920/30.
 
Suzani are silk embroideries that have been woven in Uzbekistan for many hundreds of years, they are treasured family items woven by the ladies of a family usually to celebrate a wedding. They are then used to decorate the inside of the Yurt. They are often embroidered in silk on strips of cotton which are then joined together to make the complete item. The suzani is then backed with fine cotton to give it strength and body.
 
This example is probably embroidered by the Lakai tribe and it features large multi coloured solar discs, the use of yellow and green is quite striking against the dark pink ground.
 
The condition is excellent with only very slight wear, the suzani has been re-backed in Russian cotton.
 
The suzani is ready for display or it could be used as a bed cover.
