1950’s Tajik Embroidered Face Veil

This rare, Afghani embroidered cotton modesty veil panel, was typical of those worn by women in the 1950’s in Uzbekistan and Afghanistan. In the top center is a “peek-a-boo” panel used to allow vision. The panel is totally embroidered in a dark red cotton embroidered in multicolors with Suzani patterns. It will make a wonderful wall hanging and a fabulous conversation piece for the collector of rare vintage textiles. Condition is good, fabric is vintage cotton, and it measures 24 by 33 inches.
