My sister in AK bought a trunk at a garage sale and it contained some cloth textiles. It also had pieces of furs and stuff from different places. The one textile had a note that said "embroidered on hand woven cloth" on it. Any help on where these could have originated from and a time period. Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1438653458.757896.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1438653476.890481.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1438653501.425156.jpg for any help!

Textile is something that only experts can tell you, they know by the way the pattern is and so on, but from what I see and this is just a guess. The large piece looks to be South American and I'm saying that due to the bright colors and the ribbons look like something that may have come from Napal. It is possible that they all came from one of the two regions. Good luck on your quest.:thumbsup:

Thank you unclemac. Do you think it looks South American as well?
