Suzani is a type of embroidered textile originating from Central Asia, particularly Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan. These stunning textiles feature intricate and colourful needlework, often forming elaborate floral and geometric patterns. Suzanis have deep cultural roots, serving both as decorative pieces and dowry items, symbolizing a woman’s skill and devotion.
