Hunza valley embroidery
Diagonal Diamond-Grid Tribal Geometric Panel
Wall Hangings
A diagonal grid of small diamonds, each filled with stylized hooked and arrow-like motifs in green, gold, cream, and dark brown, covers a warm rust ground inside a slender vine border. The dense, repeating tribal geometry recalls heritage Hunza patterning such as millipede and angular border motifs, here scaled across the whole field. Hand-embroidered in wool and silk, its rugged earthy palette and rhythmic repetition give it the character of a folk textile-art panel for the 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.

How it is made
