A large sun-disc medallion, hand-embroidered in a rich gold-tan thread, radiates from the center of this pillow — its scalloped, sunburst-edged border echoed by diagonal vine-and-leaf motifs reaching into each corner, all worked across a crisp ivory ground. This is a DE-COR design, hand-embroidered by artisans in the Suzani tradition and translated onto a fresh, tailored pillow construction rather than a vintage textile. The high-contrast gold-on-ivory palette gives this piece a more graphic, sculptural presence than a multicolor Suzani motif, letting the embroidery technique itself take center stage. At 18" square, it works as a striking solo accent or paired with softer, solid-color pillows.
This is a DE-COR design, an 18" hand-embroidered pillow in ivory cotton canvas with a gold-tan Suzani-style sun medallion and scalloped border.
Q: What does the sun or disc motif typically symbolize in Suzani-style embroidery? A: Large circular disc motifs are among the most recognizable Suzani symbols, often interpreted as representing the sun or moon and associated with themes of fertility, protection, and good fortune — though exact meanings can vary by region and individual weaver.
