Decorative suzani cushion cover made of hand embroidery silk on silk background, flowers and vine motifs, linen backing with zipper, no insert. Delicate and specialised washing advised. Suzani is a type of hand-embroidered and decorative tribal textile panel made in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and other Asian countries. 'Suzani' is from the Persian 'Suzan' which means 'needle'. Suzani textiles were traditionally made by brides as part of their dowry, and were presented to the groom on the wedding day. These large embroidered dowry textiles of Turkish groups are so named because of the many hundreds of hours of needlework required to produce them.
