A rare Greek embroidered bag from Attica, Greece mid 19th century. 
Worked in naturally dyed silks onto a hand loomed cotton canvas or linen.

Made from the embroidered hem of a woman’s shift, and embroidered on a heavy cotton ground.

The shift hens of Attica are distinguished by a top edging of scallops unusually enclosing a fertility goddess motif as seen here at the bottom edge of the bag.

Measurements: 20cm W  X   13.5cm H  plus 6cm tassel/fringing.
