A rare and intimate piece of textile history, this square quilt was hand-stitched by the women of the Saami a semi-nomadic group from the Kutch/Sindh region known for their extraordinary needlework. This piece features quilting, where layers of cotton are stitched together with dense, rhythmic geometric patterns to create a durable, warm fabric. It has been given a museum-quality custom mount: the antique textile floats on a neutral mat within a gold-gilded frame, preserving its raw edges and delicate history. This professional presentation elevates the humble folk art into a significant artifact. It would look stunning in a formal entryway or home office, where the gold frame can catch the light.
