Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a 19th century Surya related heavily embroidered Zardosi work embroidery in gold and silver colour cord and colored silks, unknown size 120 & 60 cm (?), apparently in good condition. This technique was brought from Iran to India, simiar stumpwork can also be found in Myanmar and neighbouring Thailand. The estimate is based on similar items offered or sold at auction. A highly decorative piece of textile.
