This is a great embroidered framed floral tapestry, home decor, floral wall hanging, needlepoint art work.
It is from India - I believe, it is hand embroidered art, zardozi (Zardozi means "gold thread". It is embroidery art form using gold and genuine precious and semi precious stones to create an opulent 3D effect. Zardozi was introduced into India in the early 16th century and was used mainly to adorn the robes and household items of the royal families.
The cost of such items is between $400-$900
It has been modernized by the introduction of silk. Now you too can own a work of art once reserved for royalty!
Materials: velvet, metallic threads, silk, semi precious stones
Height: 24 1/4 inches by 20 1/2 inches
