Suzani is a form of embroidery that was traditionally passed down from mothers to daughters in Central Asia. Unique pieces were carefully stitched as part of a bride's wedding trousseau. The embroidered patterns usually include motifs and symbols representing fertility, protection, and blessings for a newlywed couple. Interestingly, the word 'suzan' is a Persian word that means 'needle'.
