We see a wide range of embroidered piecework accross the Moslem world. In Central Asia we use the term Suzani but we see very similar work in Ottoman Textiles, Greek Textiles, Epirus Textiles, Resht Textiles, Moroccan Embroidery, Algerian embroidery, and even Banya Luka Applique. Put simply Suzani is embroidery on cloth in one piece or more often in several then stitched together.

About JBOC

I have enjoyed the study of Oriental Rugs for years. I am not really in the rug business but it relaxes me to study and write about rugs. For years I was a consultant to business and Government in the Washington DC area. Now I work in Advertising. I have even dabbled in politics over the last 34 years. I have worked for a wide range of candidate from Ronald Reagan to John Kerry and frankly the Kerry gig paid better. I travel to Iran periodically but more about that later.
