Such an exciting collection of embroideries and beading. I would like to know the method of beading the fringed edges to many of the textiles. Does anyone have the instructions, or can at leasit describe the manner of beading with the twisted thread? Thanks Ann

Salamona!
Embroidery style of Hazara, esp. the purses, have the same style which we can observe in the traditional embroidery of Swat, Pakistan. But I am not in the position to solve the puzzle because, in historical context there are very clear links of Afghan arrival and settlement in the region; Mehmod Ghaznavi in the 11th c.Yusufzai in 15th c. and some nomads (Kohistani), but it is hard to trace how the tradition reach the region. Since there is a large geographical distance between the two regions. And the style that is typical in other areas of Afghanistan such Herat, Kabul, Jalalabad etc. which are more near and accessible to this area, have no resemblence in this tradition.
Please if you can help in this context to find the traces of the journey of stitches (cross, back and darning)and the links between the two.
