The delicate features and beauty of suzanas are seen through the skills and taste of tailors. Each suzana is sewn by 5 or more embroiders within 3,4,5 months. Then it is hung on the wall to decorate the room. (In some regions it is used to cover up the newly married couple’s bed). Suzanas are special for being handmade. Suzana was widely used in the territory of Uzbekistan and Tadjikistan in the past. (In the 15th century ). Suzanas made in Nurata, Samarkand, Buchara, Shahrisabs and other regions have distinctive features and in different colours and are exhibited in museums and catalogues of the republic and abroad. In 1920s the basic characteristics of suzanas were emerged. By the end of the 20th century the embroidery had widely been developed, fabric for suzanas and threads for embroidery have been produced. There has been a great influence of handicraftswoman Fayziyeva Shahodat from Nurata. She has been creating mixed variety of beautiful, attractive, colurful suzanas and they have been displayed in the USA, Italy, France and other countries and kept in museums and catalogues. She has been working with her son Sherali Islomov for creating suzanas and threads for embroidery.
