Wedding veil (Chand bagh), late 19th-early 20th century, 94 3/4 x 53 1/4 in. (240.67 x 135.26 cm), Cotton, silk; embroidery, Pakistan, 19th-20th century, The Punjab region of India and Pakistan once was famous for darning stitch embroidery called phulkari, or flower work. Some designs were distinctly floral; others severely geometric. When the embroidery densely covered the cloth's surface, the 'flowers' were said to form a bagh, or garden. And when shimmering white silk stitches floated on a dark background as in this veil, the flower garden became a heavenly 'moon garden' (chand bagh).
