This vibrant Uzbek Suzani is hand-embroidered on a cotton ground and features a striking composition of large circular medallions set against a soft pink field. Suzani textiles have long been an important part of Central Asian domestic life, traditionally created by women as part of a bride’s dowry and used to decorate the home.

The design centres around bold rosette medallions filled with scrolling vine motifs and layered petal forms. Each medallion is rendered in a different combination of colours, creating a lively and playful rhythm across the textile. Shades of emerald green, saffron, chocolate brown, ivory and bright blue stand out beautifully against the pink background.

A delicate border of stylised flowers and curling vines frames the composition, balancing the larger medallions within the field. The combination of vivid colour and expressive embroidery gives this Suzani a joyful presence while still reflecting the traditional craftsmanship of Uzbek needlework.
