This brightly colored embroidered border, likely from the mid 20th century, was made by a Rajput artist. It features a vibrant red background with intricate geometric and floral motifs, embellished with colorful threads and small mirrors. The border is adorned with a variety of colorful trim along the edges, likely adding to its visual appeal. The piece showcases the traditional Indian embroidery techniques and the rich cultural heritage of the Rajput region.
