Condiion
 
Left in as found condition. Been in storage for a very long time and could use a freshening up. 
 
Either for restoration or upscaling. For the most part all of the embroidery is in good condition and useable. The red ground has several breaks and splits in it and unfortunately someone at one time placed pieces of heavy duty tape to the back at one end to prevent the shawl from splitting further. I'm sure it can be removed by someone who has more experience. 
 
Color are good and strong with no stains. Embroideries would frame up nicely over make fantastic pillows.
