Is this from Punjab?
Yes.
It also has significant age.
Ho can I buy this piece?
Hello Renee, it is not for sale.
This is such an instrumental page to learn about our lost art! I wanted your permission to use a couple of pictures of Phulkari art and text reference. I wish to write something on this precious art but have never come across such stunning pieces. This is so knowledgeable!!
Do let me know.
Thanks
