Antique Hand Beaded work on Red Velours Childs Vest

Description

Lovely objet
Hand beaded vest
As obvious as it seems, the vest initially began as a regular vest to eventually have been modified with the beadwork as seen
The stitches are all very apparent, showing a naive yet somewhat skilled hand
On the side are silk ribbons in white red and blue, suggesting a possible link to some type of cultural event? Celebration?
The piece is made of coton and velours and glass beads
The vest would have been worn by a child between 2-5 years old and measures 11.5 (top neck to lowest part) and 13.5 widest part /open vest
A great collectible piece
Enjoy!
