Lot of 8 small Kuchi textile panels.  There are four matching pair in this lot.  Pieces include beadwork, shisha mirrors and metallic embroidery.

In the old tradition, the Kuchi nomads decorated almost everything they owned, including their animals and themselves.  They used items that were plentiful or easily obtainable, such as glass seed beads and coins, and made others such has stamped metal amulets and buttons.  They also made tassels, poms and to top it all off, embroidered almost everything.  These little panels are just one example of their craft.
