Oversized Marash Embroidery Textile Now on View

In this video, Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian shows us a unique Armenian textile that combines several styles including Marash embroidery. It is on loan from Nishan Kazazian, who wrote the following: “The piece is embroidered by my great aunt in Baghdad. Other than being a unique piece of artwork, it has many psychological elements attached to it (belonging and not, separation and connection).”
