A group of three framed textiles, 20th century. The central panel a baby carrier worked in polychrome supplementary-weft brocade with horizontal registers of zigzag, hook and stylized geometric motifs, retaining its shoulder straps and knotted fringe; flanked by a pair of woven panels similarly brocaded and applied with white ring-shell rosettes and metal studs. Together float-mounted in a single frame under glass. (3)
