17 of these are elephants two are horses and one is two jesters, people. They are all on various colours of background and all have the glass balls around the initial centre in which some have fallen off a few of these. They are also adorned with a lot of gold metal sequins as well. A lot of metallic thread, and each has been intricately hand embroidered, which is just amazing With all the detail in these. I am thinking that it must’ve been an original large textile, and these were all cut from one large textile? Some of these have a lighter, gauzy cotton backing. And you can tell that they are definitely quite old. Several of them do not have backings. overall these are in quite good condition and there is just the one that looks like a moth may have gotten to it as you can see in one of the photos.
