These are very nice photos, I have a textile showing almost identical detail to this..my Aunt brought it back from her travels to South America many years ago..I always treasured it so much. Very nice pictures here.

I love them Nancy. I was lucky enough to get this one at an auction for $2.00 There are usually two matching pieces because they are the front and back of a blouse, but I only have the one. Thank you and have a blessed day.
