The Kashmiri Art of Carpet making and embroidery art is famous all over the world.
This is a unique, vintage , one of a kind "Gabba"

The "Gabbas" are a reflection of rural life in the Himalayan villages of Kashmir.
They are made out of pieces of old woolen textiles (mostly blankets) or Jute textiles (as it is with this piece) and then joint together and fully embroidered with wool in vibrant colors.
