Title:
Stunning embroidered textile bull – Rajasthan, India – rich shisha-inspired decor – vintage piece (1970s-1990s)
Description:
Stunning and authentic decorative textile bull, entirely handmade in Rajasthan (India), a region emblematic for the richness of its traditional craftsmanship.
This piece stands out for its particularly refined ornamentation: dense geometric and floral embroidery, inlays of mirrors (traditional technique known as shisha), sewn pearls, and colorful tassels. The overall effect is a vibrant visual appearance typical of Indian folk textile objects intended for decoration.
Dating very likely from the 1970s-1990s, this bull illustrates a high-quality artisanal production, produced before the more recent standardization of export items. The natural patina of time, visible through slightly softened hues and discreet wear, reinforces its authenticity and unique character.
Each piece of this type being handmade, it presents variations and details that make it a singular object, both decorative and collectible.
