Unknown Maker, Chinese

The Chinese embroidery that decorated Parsi gara borders like the one in this case was also applied to Parsi blouses, loose pants, hats, and children’s tunics. The first examples of these garments were made from other embroidered textiles brought back from China, including shawls, bedcovers, and wall hangings. Later on, Chinese workshops produced uncut embroidered panels that could be tailored back home.
