Vintage Afghan Cotton Tunic - Dari

This Afghan tunic is a genuine vintage piece and the needlework is stunning. The black cotton is decorated with an intricate geometric composition and coin detailing running down the centre, with small detail at the cuffs. The detail is exquisite and deserves to be a feature piece. Originally made to be worn, it is now sold as a textile artwork.

Measuring approximately 60 × 96cm, it works beautifully displayed hung against a wall, or in an open frame so as not to lose the tactile nature of the piece. This is a one-of-a-kind piece named Dari, the work of skilled Afghan craftswomen drawing on a textile tradition that stretches back centuries.
