let me say, a woman i contacted, that has a website discussing ancient Chinese embroidery got back to me. she thinks it's Northern Han or...
when i click on that link the little applet that is open disappears in seconds. so i can't see it.
yes, i have a problem with that too. but as i've explained before, it does show age if you look closely and what does "old" chainstitch look...
which one, mine or the other pic i posted?
thank you, i've looked at that. it was, according to my research, during that period that the aesthetic was changing in China from swirling...
among the many things i've already found in my research, that i didn't include in my first statement is that very thing. this is an example of an...
hi everyone. i have been trying to identify and date this little piece of embroidery art from China for a couple of months now. i've posted it...
yes, the frame is newer. also, i'm now understanding what you were saying about the thing on her sleeve. i think i was just hoping there might...

yes, that's where i was leaning. but i've found no one that's a likely candidate. CKL is also possible. i'll look at that when i get home...thanks
it's in Sacramento California
hi everyone. i just got this little piece in a thrift store. the price was low and i think the painting is beautiful. i could see in the frame...
yeah, that portion of the label is the most badly light damaged of all. there's what looks like a "G" and the rest is pretty much indecipherable....
