Antique Indo-Persian Kalamkari Wall Hanging throw Bold birdsThis finely detailed block print kalamkari was made for the Persian market in India. Soft tones of madder and indigo have been used and the panel is printed onto a fine cotton that has a central join. Delicate tassels finish each end of this piece.
