Is this Indian needlework?

    Hi there. Was wondering exactly what this style would be called and what kind of value it would have? We have an opportunity to pick it up at what we think is a fair price for $80 IMG_3321.JPG IMG_3323.JPG IMG_3322.JPG . We do like the piece but want to make sure that we are not overpaying for it. Also looking at it as an investment. Thanks for any input!

    Kalaga embroidery, Burmese. I don't know values though.

    IMO, one should never buy anything for its investment value. (Certainly you've seen the ANTIQUE ROADSHOW episodes that compare now and then values. More often than not disappointing.) This will help you make a decision.

    Around here, $80 would be full retail; that sort of art doesn't sell well locally. Your mileage may be different elsewhere, and markets change.
