Black Tree of Life Suzani Pillow Page

This pillow is made from fabric inspired by a vintage St. Frank piece created in Uzbekistan. This suzani tree of life design represents three spheres: the roots spring from the underworld, the trunk rises through the terrestrial world, and the branches reach the heavens. Traditionally used for wall hangings or as a woman's marriage dowry, the flower designs are symbolic of fertility and fruitfulness. The tree of life's decorative embroidery is also thought to possess a protective element.
