Lot 441: A Turquoise Blue Silk Saree with Metallic Gold-Tone Foliate Embroidery
An embroidered textile, likely a saree, rendered in a vibrant turquoise blue colour. The material appears to be silk or a silk-blend with a characteristic sheen and a lightly crinkled texture. It features wide, ornate borders of metallic gold-tone zari embroidery in a traditional foliate and floral scrolling pattern. Multiple parallel bands of this decorative work are present across the fabric. A small white adhesive label marked 3 3 is attached to the surface, and a tan cardboard auction tag marked with 441, Ac, and an orange sticker with 144 is tied to the item.
Condition report:
The item is heavily creased and wrinkled from storage. No significant stains, tears, or major areas of wear are immediately apparent from visual inspection. The embroidery and fabric edges appear to be in generally good order, though minor loose threads or small snags typical of hand-worked zari textiles may be present upon close examination.
