Cloth with Beetlewing and Gold Thread Embroidery (India)
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London houses a cloth from Chennai (Madras), India, that around 1880 was made at the Hobart School for Mussulman Girls, perhaps as a sample for the export. It is decorated with gold thread embroidery (zardozi) and beetlewing cases attached to net.
