Suzani developed along the Silk Road in Central Asia for use in a bride’s dowry. When a baby girl was born, an elder of the village drew a stylized botanical motif on cotton or silk panels. The panels were stitched by female members of the newborn’s family using silk thread, then joined together as a quilt that stayed with the girl as part of her dowry. Today, suzani designs are more commonly screen-printed on cotton, and the intricate stitched varieties command hundreds of dollars per yard where available.
