18TH-CENTURY "CRESTED BIRD" SILK EMBROIDERY
An 18th-century silk embroidery depicting a crested bird perched among flowering branches, worked in finely stitched silk thread on a silk ground.

Likely executed in silk thread with watercolor accents on silk, works of this kind were framed as decorative pictures and valued for their delicacy, craftsmanship, and ornamental detail.
