Embroidered Rajasthan textile

Unusual Embroidered Phulkari Textile

dimension: 135cm x 260cm (approx.)This textile comprises three red homespun cotton panels that have been sewn together by hand. The pieces have been embroidered with yellow and gold-coloured silk threads with a repeated geometric or possibly, a stylised peacock motif. A top corner has been embroidered mostly with the gold-coloured thread as have been the outer lengthwise borders. Why this corner has been differently embroidered is not clear but the effect has been intentional.

The item is in very good condition and is without repairs, tears or insect damage.
