Smiling Face Antique Painting on Silk resting birds There is one small area

There is one small area of light colored spotting near the lip that appears original to the making

to those antlers just clearing the opening--I find this drawing really wonderful

a heavily detailed form of traditional Indian traditional embroidery that originates from the Kutch and the Saurashtra regions of Gujarat in North Western India--as well as a perimeter of multi-colored sequins and cut and sewn cotton fabric triangles fringe

and with her worn but still sparkly gold belt over long pink patterned robe-like dress

Smiling Face Antique Painting on Silk resting birds There is one small areaSuch a funny, cheery face! It was painted on silk, then very carefully wrapped around a piece of round board, pinned tight along the edges all the way around. It did have a ribbon with a little hanging loop attached to the top, but it immediately crumbled in my hands as soon as I touched it not too surprising as I'd think this is well over a hundred years old. I think of it kind of like a smiling moon, and might hang it high on the wall to watch over
