    I found this at a flea market recently then lost it in my car till yesterday. It's made of silk and very finely embroidered. I think you put tissues / kleenex inside it. It's made of silk and 14 inches long. From China - probably around 1910-1925? maybe? what do you think?t

      Beautiful embroidery ! Maybe a hankie holder ?

      thank you Manikin. you are probably right. the inside is hot pink and there are what appear to be some chop marks in there.
    3. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      If chop marks maybe knives also ? Very unique find ho2cultcha

      thanks Manikin. i think it's wonderful, but it's barely been noticed anywhere. oh well - i trust my own intuition w/ things like this. it's a beautiful piece of embroidery.
