A vintage Indian hand-painted cotton wall hanging depicting a stylized horseman figure surrounded by bird and floral motifs. Rendered in natural pigments on handwoven cotton, the composition reflects traditional Indian folk painting aesthetics, with expressive line work and narrative imagery.
The textile is square in format and is affixed along the top edge to a bamboo or reed rod using small tacks, consistent with utilitarian display methods. A cord is attached for wall hanging. The reverse shows visible paint penetration and tonal variation typical of hand-painted cloth, reinforcing its authenticity and age.
An inscription or signature in script is present on the surface; the text has not been translated. The piece has a graphic, timeworn presence well suited to collected interiors and global or folk-inspired spaces.
Acquired by the current owner in the 1980s from an exchange student and held in a private collection since.
