Hunza valley embroidery
Crimson and Indigo Star-Lattice Geometric Panel
Wall Hangings
An all-over lattice of eight-pointed stars and serrated cream leaf-forms covers a deep crimson and indigo field, enclosed by a matching red border of scrolling rosettes. The repeating geometric grid echoes the structured, tile-like motifs of traditional Hunza work, here built up in dense silk and wool hand-embroidery. Its saturated palette and rhythmic symmetry give it the presence of a heritage textile-art panel meant to anchor a wall.
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.

Materials & technique
How it is made
Hand-embroidered in naturally coloured silk and wool thread, mounted as a panel so the stitching reads as art rather than floor covering.
