Description

This is a beautifully embroidered silk bodice or choli from India for a young girl which may have been for a marriage. It shows a variety of fabrics, a pinky red silk, a deep red and gold brocade and a deep red and gold border round the sleeves. There is also a triangular turquoise silk section in the underarm area.

The top of the bodice and sleeves are embroidered in a couched gold thread in a traditional pattern of floral and other shapes, and this is enhanced with the addition of gold coloured sequins. There is just one tape to fasten at the back neck, the other one is missing.

The bodice is in excellent condition and a lovely example of its type, and the colours are bright and unfaded.

Postage in the U.K. would be by signed for delivery, first class, and the charge would be £4, which includes insurance. For overseas delivery, the charge is £10.50 to the U.S. and Canada, Asia and Australia, and £9.50 to Europe.
