Hello lovlies.
I have this beautiful throw? shawl? which I believe is of Indian origin. It came with a lot I won at auction, all very beautiful hand loomed and embroidered items. I wonder if the colours or anything about the styling give any clues?
I think it may be Kantha because of the clear overstitching detail, but it is a single layer and not made up of pieces but seems to be especially designed as it is.
It depicts elephants and birds and a floral pattern. There are four outer circles, one to each corner and a central circle. The size is 96 inches by 41.5 inches...
Any specialists and/or knowledgeable pro's here have any pointers or info? Would be gratefully received.
