Description from the seller

Three Kalagas - traditionally embroidered textiles from Burma. Generally made of linen, silk, velvet, and cotton and richly adorned with metal thread, sequins and glass beads. The motifs are based on stories from the Rama epic. On these three Kalagas, riders are embroidered on, according to Hindu belief, on animals believed to bring good luck. These three highly decorative pieces, of high quality, date from the vintage period, about 1965.
The measurements vary by a few centimeters. One glass bead is missing from one of the three Kalagas.
