Here is a beautiful old Pashtun embroidery hanging or pillow face. This is a chain stitch embroidery of silk thread on a very old cotton fabric patchwork fabric back. Probably made in the early 1900's in North- eastern Afghanistan. These were primarily made by women. This may have been made as a hanging or cover or possibly a pillow face - it's excelent condition suggests it was prized and kept stored rather than used. It was collected back in the 1970's during the days i worked in a rug gallery called Adraskand in Point Reyes Station, ca. The embroidery measures 24" x 30". Time for someone else to enjoy the intricate tribal art seen here.
