Six pure silk 10-inch square embroidered handkerchiefs from China (3 packages of 2). Silk embroidery is an art form mastered in China over 2,500 years ago. From harvesting silk to dying each thread, the process reflects dedication to an art full of tradition. These were made in Changshu City and were donated by the People's Republic of China during the Economic Development Council 1994 Trade Mission.
