Golden Vari da Bagh Phulkari with striped bands across the length of the textile.
A close-up reveals that the stitch used to render this is among the finest - with each stitch traversing a few millimeters at a time. These, naturally take much longer than the stitches that are a centimeter long.
Superb quality of craftsmanship
Minor stains / spots of age & usage related wear are to be expected.
Punjab, Undivided India
