The tradition of Afghan embroidery is deeply rooted in the country's tribal heritage and local cultural traditions.
Each ethnic group in Afghanistan contributes a unique style, color scheme, and techniques to Afghan embroidery.
Regional styles include the bold geometric patterns of Pashtun embroidery, the exquisite silk embroidery of Uzbek and Turkmen, and the lacy floral motifs of Hazara embroidery.
Embroidery in Afghanistan holds cultural and familial significance and reflects the skill and patience of women who create these intricate designs.
