Beaded Embroidery Embellishments on Prints of Figures
Item Details

The pieces include images of lips, an Indian woman, a child, nude figures, and an Indo-Persian illustration of a traditional musician and modern dancer printed on fabric and then embellished with beads, sequins, and hand-stitching. They are unsigned and presented in layered mats covered with silk brocade fabrics.
