Hunza valley embroidery
Ivory Arabesque Floral with Pomegranates Panel
Wall Hangings
A pale ivory-gold field carries a symmetrical arabesque of curling vines, pomegranates, and small red-and-green blossoms, mirrored along a central axis and edged by a dark scrolling border. The flowing vine-and-fruit scheme recalls the heritage floral and pomegranate motifs of Hunza and wider Central Asian suzani embroidery, where fertility and abundance are implied. Worked by hand in silk and wool over a luminous ground, its airy, balanced layout makes it an elegant decorative wall panel.
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.
