Superb Old Sind Wedding Choli. This spectacular heavily embroidered dress or choli from the Sind region was probably made and used by a bride in her wedding. The choli is fully embroidered on most of the front and back, making it a very heavy textile with so much stitching. The choli is 40 inches across from sleeve tip to sleeve tip, 36 inches from top to botton, and 24 inches across in the center of the choli. Beautiful embroidery work, in a variety of stitches excellently rendered, and mirror work throughout the front of the choli. The choli is in very good condition. It’s quite a statement of textile art of a young woman’s mastery of the needlework arts. www.banjaratextiles.com
