Hunza valley embroidery
Minimal Tulip and Iris Trio on Gold
Wall Hangings
Three stylized stems—a tall blush-pink tulip, a small scarlet bloom, and a dark plum iris—grow from a slender green ground line across an open, warm-amber field. The spare, almost graphic composition reads as a contemporary artistic study rather than a dense traditional pattern, letting the hand-embroidered silk flowers stand as quiet silhouettes. Fine long-and-short qalmi stitching shades the leaves and petals, in the manner of Hunza floral work lifted off the body and reimagined as understated modern wall art.
The tradition
Hunza valley embroidery
The wall hangings carry Hunza's embroidery off the body and onto the wall. They blend traditional valley motifs — the same ibex horns, leopards and floral forms found on caps and wedding veils — with the freer compositions of contemporary artists trained in the workshop.
Made to be seen as textile art, each hanging is a panel of dense hand embroidery rather than a functional floor piece, so the silk catches the light and the design can be read close-up.

How it is made
