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.jpgImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1438653476.890481.jpgImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1438653501.425156.jpgfor any help!

Few more photos. Some are in rough shape.
 

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! We will have to find someone to look at them. Was hopeful there was an expert on here :)
 

There very well could be someone on here that can tell you. We have a lot of people from all types of artifact fields, just keep an eye on your post, someone may come along and see it and be able to help you. Thanks for posting!:thumbsup:
 

the colors and design are not NW
 

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

that bright close up sure does
