The pieces

Hand-embroidered cushion covers, for the home.

The baithak is the formal drawing room where guests are received in Pakistani homes, furnished with the household's finest textiles.

Baithak covers are hand cross-stitched in Gilgit-Baltistan, made for the spaces where people gather.

Each is stitched by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
