806:  Embroidery On Silk ~ Birds

This is a beautifully executed and delicate embroidery on silk with two birds of paradise sitting on a branch.  The colors are so vivid, this pic can not do it justice.  Note the extra fine stitching and the calligraphy.
It measures 15" x 19" framed and matted (antique frame)
Circa early 20th century
