Uzbekistan antique Lakai type embroidery (56 x 56cm) *AF

£ 100.00

56 x 56 cm  //  1ft 10" x 1ft 10"

The tragedy of this superbly drawn embroidery is the fact that poor quality synthetic dyes have been used, which have proved fugative. Silk embroidery on felted wool cloth, likely intended as a bohça cloth to wrap a present or mirror.
