Side of door decoration. Almost new in 1970s when Elson bought it from the family that had it. The pieces for the other side and top were sold due to the drought by the farming family that made it for a wedding of the wife. Typical of the Kanbi caste of Hindus, the design is primarily made up of chain stitch embroidery with other stitches to decorate the feet and tails of the peacocks,Acquisition
