How are suzanis displayed?

Suzanis are large embroidered textiles traditionally used as wall hangings or decorative covers in Central Asian homes. Collectors today mount them on supportive backings for interior display. Because of their delicate silk thread work on cotton grounds, these textiles require protection from direct sunlight. Proper hanging preserves the integrity of the natural dyes and stitches.

Characterised by a distinctive root-stock head, each club is carved from durable hardwood. They frequently feature detailed grip handles and deep patinas from handling.
