BM/Chuqa
A distinctive feature of Bakhtiari men's clothing is the 'chuqa', a sleeveless tunic-like jacket. It is open in front and sometimes held together witha belt. Two panels of material with thin, dark-blue stripes are sewn together horizontally. The upper one is decorated with stepped arrowheads inserted in tapestry technique.
This chuqa is likely to be from around the early 20th century, is in good overall condition with early chuqas now being relatively scarce items to find or acquire amongst the Bakhtiari tribes.
I have attached additional photos of the chuqa being worn.

The word 'suzani' is a Persian word meaning 'needle'. In Uzbekistan, it refers to a type of embroidered wall-hanging that is used to decorate walls or to conceal niches and shelved alcoves. Suzani embroidery is an urban domestic craft and were made to form part of the bride's dowry.
Suzanis made in the 18th and 19th centuries, today, are highly collectable and fetch tens of thousands of pounds. The suzanis I have recently acquired here, were made during the 20th century, but of high quality and equal to their predecessors. The difference being they are considerably less money and affordable to those who are unable to pay £10,000 GBP upwards!
The suzani illustrated, is silk-embroidered on an ivory silk background - incredible work, natural colours and truly beautiful.
