a Rare Nakshi Kantha
Finely hand-embroidered on cotton, this exquisite textile is attributed to the Jessore region of East Bengal (present-day Bangladesh), within the greater Bengal cultural sphere of the Indian subcontinent.
The piece beautifully reflects the rich folk traditions of Bengal, with intricate needlework that narrates stories through symbolic and decorative motifs—an enduring hallmark of Nakshi Kantha artistry.
Period: Circa 1875–1900
Dimensions: 84 cm × 85 cm
A remarkable example of regional craftsmanship, preserving the aesthetic and cultural
heritage of 19th-century Bengal(20260504_170954).
