Embroidery Piece from Bengal

Santosh was extremely fond of embroidery and embroidered this cloth in her house in Tetulia in East Pakistan. It was brought across when the family migrated to escape the riots and killings, in 1948.
The royal Bengal Tiger is found mostly in the Sunderbans, the largest delta in the world. The marshy lands formed by the Ganga and the Brahmaputra flowing into the sea are shared between India and Bangladesh. While Bengal was divided during the Partition in 1947, the tiger has shared cultural importance, being the national animal for both the countries.
