Embroidery India/Pakistan | Antique Embroidered Coverlet

An incredibly fine rumal (coverlet) circa 1900 or before,  Maheri Group, Rahim Yar Khan, Sindh, Pakistan. Silk and cotton embroidery on homespun cotton. There are a number of embroidery techniques displayed on the wonderful example; with interlocking, soof and a number of other embroidery stitches. The woman who created it was a master with a needle. It is certainly the finest work I've seen on one of these. Museum quality, and mint condition. Acquired from an old Philidelphia collection. SOLD
