Uzbek Suzani Embroidery on Wooden Workbench
by Clyde Pope
Pale noon light bounces off surrounding walls, casting a flat, even glow across a weathered wooden workbench in Kilis. An embroidered suzani wall hanging from Uzbekistan rests diagonally on the surface, its intricate floral motifs in deep reds and blues against the worn, pale wood grain. Fine dust motes hang suspended in the shafts of light that penetrate the room, settling gently on the raised velvet threads of the textile. The fabric lies slightly rumpled, revealing the texture of the heavy cotton backing and the density of the stitching. A small wooden tool handle sits beside the corner of the hanging, its surface smoothed by years of use. at the edge is a loose thread of gold silk trailing from the bottom hem onto the wood.
