Hand Woven Lehenga
Hi. Ignorant American here, (thats mostly a joke), I know this sub is for weddings but the mofs wouldn't let me post in Indian fashion so sincw I believe this is a bridal skirt I thought Id try here. I got a couple of things from a storage unit auction and they interested me so instead of just finding out what they are worth, I thought I'd find a community and learn a bit about the culture. All I really know is that this was hand made, I believe the marerial is raw silk. the metal thread work is called zardozi and the skirt is a lehenga. Unfortunately I did not find a top or arm cloth... told ya I was ignorant... I also found these two necklaces which I'm 90% sure are costume jewelry, a bag from a company called Zara, and a knife with a wooden scabbard. Anyway I'd love to hear what you all think about these and any info or history would be welcomed. Thank you for your time. -Rich
