About the Item

78843 Antique Tashkent Uzbek Suzani Moon Sky Ai Palak Textile, 08'03 x 08'02. Moon Sky 'Ai Palak' Suzani textiles from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, are renowned for their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and cultural significance. These textiles feature circular medallions, starburst patterns, and floral motifs such as rosettes and tulips, symbolizing fertility and prosperity. The name 'Ai Palak' translates to 'moon sky,' reflecting the celestial themes often incorporated into the designs. Embroidered by hand using techniques like chain stitch and satin stitch, these textiles are typically made on hand-woven cotton or silk, with embroidery threads of silk or cotton. Traditionally, Suzanis were created by women as part of their dowry and were used to decorate homes and for ceremonial purposes, symbolizing the bride's skill and industriousness. The motifs carry symbolic meanings related to protection, happiness, and fertility. Larger Suzanis are made in panels stitched together, a characteristic feature of these textiles. Each region in Uzbekistan has distinct Suzani styles, identifiable by their unique motifs, colors, and stitching techniques, with 'Ai Palak' being particularly associated with Tashkent. In modern times, Suzanis are highly collectible and valued for their artistic and cultural significance. Antique and vintage pieces are prized by collectors, while contemporary versions are appreciated for their craftsmanship. Suzanis are used in interior decoration as wall hangings, bedspreads, table covers, and upholstery, adding a vibrant focal point to any room. These textiles continue to represent the rich artistic traditions of Central Asia and the enduring craftsmanship of Uzbek artisans. Abrash. Handwoven and embroidered silk and cotton. Made in Uzbekistan. Measures: 08'03 x 08'02. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
