While traditional dowry Suzanis often burst with multiple colors, this rare piece features a nearly monochromatic design rendered in a vibrant, electric lime green—a spectacular color choice that sets it apart. The intricate pattern is a lush, all-over floral and vine motif, symbolizing prosperity and the continuity of life. The single-color treatment focuses the viewer's attention entirely on the dense, beautiful texture of the hand-stitched silk embroidery against the neutral cotton backing, making it a high-impact piece of modern folk art. This piece is a bold, energetic accent that demands attention while maintaining a sophisticated, handcrafted feel. Its unique color makes it the perfect bridge piece for contemporary designs, especially Maximalist, Boho-Chic, or Mid-Century Modern interiors with neutral furniture. Use it as a Color-Block Wall Art: Hang the entire 5x7.5-foot panel vertically above a dark wood console or a clean, gray sofa. The single punch of vibrant lime acts as a spectacular, textured pop of color that animates the entire space. Or make it an Upholstery Statement: The dense embroidery and strong color make this textile an exceptional candidate for professional upholstery on a small accent chair, bench, or a few large floor cushions—it’s furniture with a built-in cultural story.
